FAQ's
A gastroenterologist is a specialist who is an expert in treating various stomach diseases and conditions. Some of the top doctors for stomach problems in Bangalore are Dr Govind Nandakumar, Dr (Colonel) Avnish Seth VSM, Dr Anurag Jindal, Dr Deepak Ganga, and Dr Gurbakhshish Singh Sidhu.
It becomes necessary to visit a gastroenterologist if a patient is showing the following signs and symptoms:
-
Trouble swallowing
-
Frequent heartburn
-
Abdominal bloating
-
Constipation
-
Diarrhoea
-
Unexplained weight loss
-
Rectal bleeding
-
Excessive gas formation
-
Light-coloured stools
-
Yellow skin and eyes (jaundice)
-
Peptic ulcer
-
Sudden or severe abdominal pain
The frequency of visits to a gastroenterologist depends on your age and condition. If you are more than 50 years old, it is recommended to visit a gastroenterologist once every 10 years for a colonoscopy, a procedure that scans the colon and rectum for any abnormalities. If you have any serious conditions like regular heartburn, diarrhoea, rectal bleeding, etc. you might need to visit a stomach doctor frequently.
Gastroenterologists can help in diagnosing the hernia and relieving your symptoms, however the best treatment for a hernia is surgery. Hence it is best to consult a general surgeon to treat a hernia.
A gastroenterologist can perform various surgeries related to digestive organs including the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. Some of the major surgeries are appendicitis, colon cancer and other gastrointestinal cancers, diverticular disease, gallbladder disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias, hernia, inflammatory bowel disease, rectal prolapse, etc.
