FAQ's Related to Gastroenterologist

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

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

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

These include Endoscopic ultrasounds, Gastroscopies and Colonoscopies and all of these procedures provide a good assessment of the condition at hand. The difference between Endoscopy and Colonoscopy, Sigmoidoscopy is that the tube carrying the camera is inserted via mouth and rectum respectively. This camera sends images which make it easy to understand the symptoms. 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.

Please visit a Gastroenterologist if you are showing symptoms of a digestive system issue or at risk for colorectal cancer because you are more than 50 years of age. Kindly do visit a doctor of this specialty in case of conditions like suspected gallstones, ulcers, and Hemorrhoids. Even a recovery from a surgical process can be helped along seamlessly if the journey towards excellent digestive health is faster.
