Dr. Kishan A V – Specialist in Gastroenterology, Bengaluru

What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. It plays a key role in ensuring proper digestion, absorption of nutrients, and overall digestive health.

How are Gastroenterology Procedures Performed?

Depending on the condition, gastroenterology procedures may involve endoscopic examinations, minimally invasive surgeries, or medical therapies. Endoscopy and colonoscopy are commonly used to view the digestive tract from the inside, while advanced treatments may include therapeutic endoscopy, polyp removal, or management of bleeding. These techniques provide precise diagnosis and effective treatment with minimal discomfort.

Who Should Consult a Gastroenterologist?

Patients experiencing symptoms such as persistent abdominal pain, acidity, indigestion, bloating, chronic diarrhea or constipation, jaundice, unexplained weight loss, or gastrointestinal bleeding should consult a gastroenterologist. Early consultation helps in preventing complications and ensures timely treatment.
