A gastroenterologist is a doctor who specialises in diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the digestive system, including the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and biliary tract.
You should consult a gastroenterologist if you experience persistent digestive issues such as abdominal pain, heartburn, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, unexplained weight loss, blood in stool, or jaundice.
Common conditions include GERD, ulcers, gastritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), liver diseases (hepatitis, cirrhosis), pancreatitis, gallstones, colorectal cancer, and other gastrointestinal disorders.
Gastroenterologists may perform or recommend diagnostic tests such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, liver function tests, ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, stool tests, and blood tests.
Bring a list of your symptoms, medications, previous test results, and medical history. For procedures like colonoscopy, follow the specific dietary and preparation instructions given by the doctor.
