FAQ's Related to Gastroenterologist

It is a Gastroenterologist who helps you get treated for the health conditions you suffer from related to the digestive system. When you first consult with the doctor, they will ask you the questions and recommend tests that will help gain a better understanding into the illness and its causes. The doctor handholds you through the treatment process, they manage it for and with you by making sure that your diet and lifestyle is in order and you are taking the right medications when and in the quantity that you should. A Gastroenterologist must have the knowledge of various factors such as:

  1. Gastrointestinal organs
  2. Movement of matter via intestines and stomach
  3. Digestion, absorption of nutrients
  4. Removal of body waste
  5. Liver system

Please do have a look at the various tests required prior to and during the consultation with a Gastroenterologist.:

  • Upper GI Series (barium swallow or barium meal)
  • Gastroscopy
  • Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

The condition which is affecting the patient can be understood through procedures such as Colonoscopies, Gastroscopies and Liver biopsies. In the case of Colonoscopy, Sigmoidoscopy, a camera attached to a thin, long tube is inserted via the rectum and in Endoscopy via the mouth. The purpose in both cases is to assess the health condition of the digestive system and tract through the images taken in this process. Diagnostic imaging tests such as Computed tomography scan (CT or CAT scan), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound are non invasive methods to understand the cause of the condition, confirm diagnoses and monitor the treatment response.

You must go to see a Gastroenterologist when there are symptoms pointing towards an issue with the digestive system or digestive tract or your age means that a regularly checkups for colorectal cancer are required. Sometimes the condition is clear and not just an indicative symptom, few conditions that would need a visit are suspected gallstones, ulcers, and Hemorrhoids.
