Q1What is Endoscopy?
An endoscopy is a non-surgical procedure used to examine a person's digestive tract using a flexible camera scope. It allows high-definition visualization of the esophagus, stomach, and upper intestine to diagnose ulcers, acidity, or bleeding.
Q2What is Colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy is a safe procedure that lets a doctor examine the lining of the entire large intestine (colon) and rectum. It is essential for detecting polyps, bleeding causes, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and early colon cancer screening.
Q3Why is FibroScan done?
FibroScan (Transient Elastography) is a non-invasive, pain-free scan that measures liver stiffness and fat percentage in under 10 minutes, completely replacing the need for invasive needle liver biopsies.
Q4Who should consult a Gastroenterologist?
Anyone suffering from chronic stomach pain, persistent acidity, swallowing difficulty (dysphagia), jaundice, unexplained weight loss, bleeding in stool or vomit, or chronic diarrhea should consult immediately.
