Gastroenterology

Diagnosis and treatment of all digestive system disorders, including but not limited to, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), acid reflux, liver diseases, and pancreatic disorders.

Acid Reflux / Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

It is a chronic condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain. This occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a muscle at the bottom of the esophagus, relaxes abnormally or weakens, allowing stomach acid to escape into the esophagus. GERD can lead to complications such as esophagitis, Barrett’s esophagus, and in severe cases, esophageal cancer. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, medications to reduce acid production or strengthen the LES, and in some cases, surgery to correct the underlying issue.

Advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as

• Endoscopy: Endoscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure that allows doctors to examine the interior surfaces of the body using an endoscope, a flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it.
• It is commonly used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the digestive tract, respiratory system, urinary system, and reproductive system.
• Endoscopy enables visualization of organs such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, lungs, and bladder, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, biopsies, and surgical interventions.

Colonoscopy:

• Colonoscopy is a type of endoscopic procedure specifically used to examine the large intestine (colon) and rectum.
• It involves the insertion of a long, flexible tube called a colonoscope through the anus into the colon.
• Colonoscopy is primarily utilized for screening and diagnosing conditions such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), polyps, and diverticulosis.
• During the procedure, abnormal tissue can be removed for biopsy, and therapeutic interventions like polyp removal can be performed.

Capsule Endoscopy

• Capsule endoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that utilizes a small, swallowable capsule equipped with a miniature camera to visualize the gastrointestinal tract.
• The capsule contains a wireless transmitter that sends images of the digestive system as it moves naturally through the body.
• It is particularly useful for examining areas of the small intestine that are not easily accessible with traditional endoscopic techniques.
• Capsule endoscopy is commonly employed in the diagnosis of conditions such as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn’s disease, and small intestinal tumors.
