FAQ's

Bring all of your prior medical documents, a list of your current medications (together with the dosage), any previous prescriptions that may be relevant to the issue, your insurance card, and any legitimate identification with you before your initial appointment. Additionally, consider preparing a list of questions you wish to discuss during the consultation. Our specialists will address all your concerns and inquiries that you have regarding your condition.

If you are suffering from any digestive system issues, you should consult a gastroenterologist. In the following circumstances, visiting a gastroenterologist may be required:

  • Persistent stomach concerns, such as diarrhoea, bloating, or abdominal pain
  • Alteration in bowel movements, particularly if it lasts for an extended time
  • Bleeding in the stomach (blood in the vomit or stool)
  • Non-prescription medications that show no favourable response for chronic heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
  • Unexpected weight loss
  • History of digestive problems in the family.
  • Abnormal outcomes of a screening test.
  • Problems with the gallbladder, pancreas, or liver.
  • Vomiting or nausea.

To examine and diagnose your issue, our doctor will review your medical records and any prior test results to deliver an accurate diagnosis and develop a treatment plan for you. The doctor may, if necessary, order additional diagnostic and blood tests, such as a stool for occult blood test, Endoscopy, Colonoscopy, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Based on the assessments, our specialists will tailor a specific treatment regimen based on your condition and needs and will discuss  pre-, and post-procedural instructions, the expected recovery period, risks and complications, and recovery care.

Endoscopic Ultrasound is a minimally invasive procedure used to assess diseases in the gastrointestinal tract. A specialised endoscope, which produces high-frequency sound waves, produces comprehensive images of the pancreas, liver, lymph nodes, and digestive tract during the procedure. The test is mostly diagnostic, enabling the identification of cysts, cancer, and other gastrointestinal problems.

The process of forcing air into the stomach and digestive tract may cause you some minor discomfort. Deep, slow breaths before and during the procedure can promote relaxation. Our specialist will guide and instruct you on proper breathing techniques to ensure your comfort and well-being throughout the procedure. It is important to communicate any concerns or discomfort you may experience during the procedure to our healthcare provider.

Depending on the technique, an Endoscopy might take anywhere from 5 minutes to two hours on average. Although most Endoscopies do not require a hospital stay, some patients return home the same day after the procedure. For the majority of Endoscopies, doctors use moderate sedatives to minimise your pain during the procedure.

Images of the small intestine of the digestive tract of an individual are made possible via Capsule Endoscopy. A capsule is made to be consumed through the patient’s mouth, which is equipped with a tiny camera that records images of the gastrointestinal tract's interior when the patient swallows it. It is swallowed like any regular capsule and moves down the oesophagus into the stomach. From there, it proceeds through the pyloric sphincter into the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Capsule Endoscopy offers advantages over other Endoscopic procedures by effectively examining areas of the small intestine that are inaccessible to traditional endoscopic tubes.

Colonoscopy is an Endoscopic procedure that involves passing a flexible tube through the anus and using a charge-coupled device (CCD)  to examine the large intestine and the terminal portion of the small intestine. The images are then transmitted to the monitor, enabling specialists to visualise the area and allow a precise diagnosis. The doctor may even take out a suspicious sample found in the intestinal lining, which may be subject to biopsy to rule out malignancy. The doctor may also perform certain interventions, such as cauterization, clipping, etc. Sedation is usually administered to the patient to help them relax and minimise discomfort.
