Q: When should I see a Gastroenterologist?
A: You should consult a specialist if you experience persistent heartburn, chronic bloating, unexplained abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, or significant changes in your bowel habits (such as chronic diarrhea or constipation).
Q: What is an Endoscopy, and is it painful?
A: An endoscopy involves a thin, flexible tube with a camera. At Gifted Hands Hospital, these are typically performed under sedation, meaning you will be relaxed and will not feel pain during the procedure.
Q: Why do I need a Colonoscopy if I feel fine?
A: Colonoscopy is a vital screening tool for colon cancer. Because polyps (small growths) often have no symptoms but can turn into cancer over time, removing them during a colonoscopy can literally save your life.
Q: Can my diet cure my GERD (Acid Reflux)?
A: While diet is a huge part of management — avoiding triggers like spice, caffeine, and late-night meals — some cases require medical or endoscopic intervention to prevent long-term damage to the esophagus.
Q: What is the difference between IBS and IBD?
A: IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a functional disorder affecting how the gut works, while IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) involves actual physical inflammation or damage to the digestive tract. Both require specialised, but very different, treatments.
Q: Do I need to prepare for a Gastro consultation?
A: Yes. Please bring a list of your symptoms, your typical diet, any family history of digestive cancers, and a list of all current medications.
Q: Is Fatty Liver a serious condition?
A: It can be. If left untreated, fatty liver can progress to inflammation and liver scarring (cirrhosis). Early intervention through diet, lifestyle, and medical management at Gifted Hands Hospital can often reverse early-stage fatty liver.
Q: How long is the recovery after an endoscopy or colonoscopy?
A: Since these are minimally invasive, you can usually return home within 1-2 hours after the sedation wears off. Most patients return to their normal diet and activities the very next day.
