What are the common symptoms of gastrointestinal issues?

Common symptoms include chronic abdominal pain, persistent bloating, heartburn, acid reflux, unexplained weight loss, and changes in bowel habits.

Is endoscopy a painful procedure?

Modern endoscopies are performed under light conscious sedation, making the procedure virtually painless and comfortable for the patient.

What is a colonoscopy used for?

Colonoscopy is used to detect and treat polyps, screening for colorectal cancer, and investigating chronic diarrhea or rectal bleeding.

How do I prepare for a health checkup involving gastroenterology?

Usually, an 8-12 hour fast is required. For colonoscopy, specific bowel preparation instructions will be provided 24 hours in advance.

Can diet alone cure acid reflux?

While diet is crucial, chronic GERD often requires medical management to prevent esophageal damage. Our specialists provide combined therapy plans.

Do you treat fatty liver disease?

Yes, we have specialized protocols for managing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) focusing on metabolic health and liver restoration.

Are your scopes sterilized between procedures?

We follow international gold-standard automated re-processing protocols for all endoscopes to ensure 100% patient safety and zero cross-contamination.

When should I consult a gastroenterologist?

Consult if you have symptoms lasting over 2 weeks or if you have a family history of GI cancers and are over 45 years of age.
