FAQ's Related to Gastroenterologist

What does a Gastroenterologist do?

When someone is experiencing illness or any kind of condition regards their digestive system, they are referred to a Gastroenterologist. The initial treatment phase with your doctor involves getting your medical history right, ensuring the reports are in order and recommending the required tests. The work of a Gastroenterologist is also to help a patient manage his/her health condition of the digestive tract and digestive system, whether it is via medications and/or diet and other lifestyle changes. 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
What are the tests required before and during consultation for a Gastroenterologist?

A consultation with a Gastroenterologist comes with the requirement of some tests to be performed either before or during the process and they are listed below:

  • pH Monitoring
  • Gastroscopy
  • Upper GI Series (barium swallow or barium meal)
  • Endoscopic Ultrasound
  • Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
  • Esophageal/Gastric Manometry

These include Endoscopic ultrasounds, Gastroscopies and Colonoscopies and all of these procedures provide a good assessment of the condition at hand. 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. In an effort to know the causes of your gastroenterological condition, confirm diagnoses and/or monitor treatment response, diagnostic imaging tests like Computed tomography scan (CT or CAT scan), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound play an important role.
