FAQ's

Several diagnostic procedures are usually employed to address various gastrointestinal issues, some of which include:

  • Lab tests such as complete blood count (CBC), faecal occult blood test, stool culture, and/or Helicobacter pylori tests

  • Imaging tests, such as computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, ultrasound, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), defecography, and barium swallow

  • Endoscopic examinations like colonoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD), sigmoidoscopy, or small bowel enteroscopy

  • Other procedures, such as manometry, biopsy, and hydrogen breath test

During your first consultation, our specialist will inquire about your onset of symptoms, general conditions, past medical history, any smoking or drinking habits, and past consultations, if any. You may be told to lie down on a bed, where your doctor will press the abdominal area to check if there is any pain, mass, or tenderness. They might also ask you to breathe deeply or cough during the exam. Depending on the findings, you may be advised to undergo diagnostic imaging or endoscopic procedures to get an accurate diagnosis. Based on your general and physical examinations, an appropriate and personalised treatment plan is tailored according to your specific needs. 
 

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which consists of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, occurs when there is chronic inflammation present in the digestive tract. It is commonly present in the small intestine but can occur anywhere within the digestive system. Symptoms of IBD include:

  • Severe abdominal pain

  • Diarrohea

  • Blood in the stool or rectal bleeding

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Fever

  • Anaemia

  • Reduced appetite

Studies have shown that smoking may aid in reducing the development of ulcerative colitis, although the mechanism is not fully understood. However, smoking is a risk factor for Crohn’s disease and other ailments, impacting your overall health. It is necessary to avoid smoking and seek help from our specialists if you exhibit any symptoms related to IBD. 
 

Several diagnostic procedures are used for the early detection and treatment of gastrointestinal cancers. The common procedure specialists often employ is Colonoscopy, which helps specialists assess any suspicious polyps in the intestines, which are then removed and subjected to biopsy. Imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans may also be used to detect any signs of spread to other organs, particularly in cases of suspected malignancy. Genetic biomarkers, such as CEA, CA19-9, and CA72-4, may also be used to understand the molecular pathway, aiding specialists in prescribing appropriate Chemotherapy drugs and doses for the patient. 
 

Diet and nutrition play a crucial role in gastrointestinal diseases. For instance, regular consumption of red meat can increase the risk of colon cancer. Moreover, diets that include saturated fats, refined carbohydrates, dairy products, and less intake of vegetables, fibres, and cereals lead to obesity, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD), making one prone to gastrointestinal diseases. It is necessary to discuss your food habits during your consultation and adhere to diet and nutrition plans tailored by our specialist. 
 

The treatment of haemorrhoids is based on their severity and grade. Our specialist might recommend home remedies such as high consumption of fibrous foods and suggest you soak your anal region in plain water for 10 to 15 minutes (sitz bath). Topical creams that contain hydrocortisone are used to minimise pain and inflammation. Minimally invasive procedures like Rubber Band Ligation, Sclerotherapy, or Coagulation are options for more moderate cases. Surgery, such as Haemorrhoidectomy or Haemorrhoid stapling, may be recommended for severe haemorrhoids categorised as grade 4. 
 

Treatment choices for colorectal cancer are based on the stage and grade of the tumour, the patient’s overall age, weight, and overall health, and the expertise of the medical team. Treatments generally include Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, Targeted Therapy, Immunotherapy, or a combination of these approaches. While surgery is the primary treatment, based on the size of the tumour, neoadjuvant therapy (administered before surgery) or adjuvant therapy (given after surgery) may be used to shrink the tumour and lower the risk of cancer recurrence.
