When should I consult a gastroenterologist?

You should consult a gastroenterologist if you experience persistent abdominal pain, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, chronic constipation or diarrhea, blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss, or ongoing digestive discomfort.

What digestive disorders are treated in the Gastroenterology department?

Our Gastroenterology department diagnoses and treats conditions such as acid reflux (GERD), gastritis, peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), liver disorders, pancreatic diseases, gallbladder conditions, and gastrointestinal infections.

What is an endoscopy, and why is it performed?

An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the doctor to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine using a flexible camera. It helps diagnose ulcers, inflammation, bleeding, infections, and other digestive conditions.

How can I maintain good digestive health?

Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, exercising regularly, limiting processed and fatty foods, avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol, managing stress, and attending regular health check-ups can help support long-term digestive health.

Are digestive problems always a sign of a serious illness?

Not always. Many digestive issues are temporary and can be managed with lifestyle changes or medication. However, persistent or recurring symptoms should be evaluated promptly to identify any underlying conditions and begin appropriate treatment early.
