Our Gastroenterology Services

Gastroenterology Consultation

Our gastroenterology consultations help evaluate digestive, liver, and nutrition-related symptoms.

During consultation, the doctor may review:

  • Symptoms and duration\
  • Medical history
  • Medication history
  • Diet and lifestyle factors
  • Previous reports or scans
  • Family history of gastrointestinal disease
  • Need for endoscopy, colonoscopy, blood tests, imaging, or further evaluation

The aim is to arrive at the right diagnosis and guide treatment based on the patient’s condition.

Upper GI Endoscopy

Upper GI endoscopy is a procedure used to examine the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract.

It may be advised for symptoms such as:

  • Persistent acidity or heartburn
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Upper abdominal pain
  • Recurrent vomiting
  • Suspected bleeding
  • Unexplained digestive symptoms

The procedure helps the doctor view the food pipe, stomach, and upper digestive tract and plan treatment accordingly.

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is a procedure used to examine the colon and rectum.

It may be advised for:

  • Blood in stool
  • Chronic diarrhoea
  • Chronic constipation
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Change in bowel habits
  • Family history of gastrointestinal disease
  • Screening or evaluation of colon-related concerns

Colonoscopy helps identify causes of bowel symptoms and supports timely diagnosis and treatment planning.

Foreign Body Removal

Foreign body removal may be required when an object is swallowed and becomes lodged in the gastrointestinal tract.

Our team provides safe evaluation and removal where clinically indicated.

Urgent assessment may be required if the patient has difficulty swallowing, pain, vomiting, breathing difficulty, or suspected ingestion of sharp or hazardous objects.

Esophageal Stricture Dilation

Esophageal stricture dilation is a procedure used to widen narrowed areas of the esophagus.

It may be considered for patients who have difficulty swallowing due to narrowing of the food pipe.

Treatment is advised after clinical evaluation and appropriate investigation.

Nutritional Counselling

Nutrition plays an important role in digestive and liver health.

Nutritional counselling may help patients with:

  • Digestive discomfort
  • Celiac disease
  • Food intolerance or gut-related allergy concerns
  • Chronic diarrhoea or constipation
  • Liver-related conditions
  • Weight loss
  • Nutritional deficiency
  • Diet planning for gastrointestinal conditions

The goal is to support treatment through practical dietary guidance and long-term nutrition support.

  • ICU and Critical Care

This coordination helps patients receive comprehensive care, especially when symptoms are complex or require multidisciplinary support.
