FAQs About Gastroenterology

Common symptoms involve:

  • Bloating
  • Stomach discomfort
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhoea
  • Acid reflux
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Unexplained weight loss

If you have persistent symptoms, it is highly important to seek a Gastroenterologist for a precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Consult a gastroenterologist if you:

  • Have chronic digestive problems.
  • Notice blood in your stools.
  • Have trouble swallowing.
  • Experience persistent acidity.
  • Show signs of liver dysfunction.

Pursuing early assessment can aid in averting issues — resulting in improved outcomes.

Fasting is generally necessary for a minimum of six hours before an endoscopy. For assessments of the large intestine (sigmoidoscopy / colonoscopy), extra preparation will be required. Patients are given intravenous medications for sedation and typically have minimal to no memory of the procedure. Once recovered, the patient will require someone to take them home.

Normal diet can typically be resumed immediately after the procedure.

Ensuring good digestive health requires:

  • A balanced diet
  • Regular exercise
  • Effective management of stress
  • Adequate hydration
  • Steering clear of smoking and high alcohol consumption

Regular consultations with a specialist — particularly if you possess risk factors — are recommended to maintain continual gastrointestinal health.

Our team of anaesthesiologists is not only experienced at administering anaesthesia before surgeries but also at delivering instant pain relief using the latest technology.
This extensive and updated knowledge in the field of pain relief medicine is called Interventional Anaesthesiology. Our experts use this medical approach to provide instant pain relief for specific medical conditions that would have required surgery. By breaking the pain cycle, patients are given a better chance of successful rehabilitation. These pain relief measures are achieved using a fluoroscope (or a C-arm), a CT scan, or a simple ultrasound scan.
