FAQ's

Some of the common signs and symptoms exhibited by gastrointestinal disorders include:

  • Pain in the abdomen

  • Constipation

  • Diarrhoea

  • Heartburn

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

  • Rectal bleeding

  • Difficulty swallowing

  • Unexplainable weight loss

You can expect the following on your first gastroenterologist appointment:

  • Physical examination: The gastroenterologist will examine you to determine the reason behind your symptoms. You have to lie in a relaxing position at the examination table. They will feel for any lumps or soreness and listen for unusual bowel noises near your abdomen. During your examination, they could ask you to cough or take deep breaths.

  • Diagnostic tests: A gastroenterologist may perform tests such as X-rays, CT scans, blood and stool tests, and stool cultures to diagnose digestive issues. They may suggest procedures like Colonoscopy, Enteroscopy, Barium Swallow, and Upper Endoscopy. A Colonoscopy examines the colon, rectum, or large intestine for polyps, bleeding, or biopsy. If either Endoscopy or Colonoscopy fails, an Enteroscopy may reveal bleeding and ulcers caused by Crohn's disease. Barium is a liquid that highlights areas on a scan, while upper endoscopy is a long tube through the mouth for examination or biopsy.

  • Medications: Your gastroenterologist may recommend medications for heartburn, gas, constipation, proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers, and metoclopramide to treat symptoms like heartburn, gas, and constipation.

  • Lifestyle changes: Your gastroenterologist may recommend reducing caffeine intake, avoiding trigger foods, increasing fibre intake, regular exercise, managing stress, and urinating when needed.

Common diagnostic tests performed by gastroenterologists include the following:

  • Lab tests such as an occult blood test and a stool test

  • Imaging tests, such as Upper gastrointestinal series (UGI), magnetic resonance imaging scans (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scans, ultrasounds, and barium swallow

  • GI motility tests, which include 24-hour pH monitoring, ambulatory recordings, and radionuclide gastric and intestinal transit studies

  • Interventional diagnostic procedures, such as Colonoscopy, Endoscopy, Capsule Endoscopy, and Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

  • Biopsy for the diagnosis of cancer. The procedure is often combined with interventional diagnostic procedures. 

Celiac disease occurs when the body’s immune system attacks the small intestine lining in response to the ingestion of gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. While celiac disease is incurable, consuming gluten-free products such as meat, fish, rice, vegetables, and fruits can help minimise symptoms. Gluten-free options, including bread and pasta, are increasingly accessible, making it easier for individuals with celiac disease to manage their dietary needs. Our specialists can recommend individualised dietary plans in case you are diagnosed with celiac disease. 
 

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of disorders that lead to inflammation in your digestive tract. IBS is of two types: Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. The exact cause of IBS is still unknown; however, studies point towards the possibility of immune system malfunction, gene mutations, and family history. Symptoms of IBD generally involve:

  • Abdominal-related issues, such as pain, diarrhoea, bloating, and blood in the stool

  • Loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss

  • Rare manifestations of nausea and vomiting, fatigue, fever, and problems with vision may develop

The selection of treatment options for colorectal cancer depends on factors such as the tumour's stage and grade, the patient's age, weight, overall health, and the proficiency of the healthcare team. Treatment typically involves a combination of approaches, including Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, Targeted Therapy, and Immunotherapy. Surgery is often the main treatment, but depending on the tumour's size, Neoadjuvant Therapy (before surgery) or Adjuvant Therapy (after surgery) may be used to reduce the tumour size and decrease the risk of cancer recurrence.
 

If surgery is recommended for your condition, our gastroenterologists will refer you to surgeons for the best course of action and discuss the specifics of the surgical procedure. Detailed pre- and post-procedural instructions would be given, along with potential risks and complications and any necessary preparations or follow-up care. Patients may experience anxiety or certain worries upon learning about the need for surgery, and therefore, the department is fully prepared to address and alleviate their concerns.
 

The examination of your large intestine is called a Colonoscopy (colon). It is useful in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal conditions, including colon cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Colon cancer can be prevented and treated with its assistance. For middle-aged and older persons, routine colonoscopies are advised as a cancer screening procedure by medical professionals.
 

Complications and risks are uncommon. Among them are:

  • Damage to your colon wall

  • Excessive bleeding as a result of tissue excision

  • Infection that calls for medication

  • Unusual responses to the anaesthetic
