FAQs

When should I consult a Gastroenterology or GI Surgery specialist?

Consult a specialist for persistent acidity, abdominal pain, vomiting, bleeding, jaundice, difficulty swallowing, chronic diarrhoea, constipation, or symptoms of gallstones, hernia, or piles.

What is the difference between Gastroenterology and GI Surgery?

Gastroenterology focuses on diagnosis and medical treatment of digestive conditions, while GI Surgery treats conditions that may require surgical care.

When is gallbladder surgery needed?

Gallbladder surgery may be advised when gallstones cause pain, infection, blockage, repeated indigestion, or complications.

What are the symptoms of a hernia?

A hernia may cause a visible swelling in the abdomen or groin, pain while lifting, discomfort while coughing, or a dragging sensation.

Can piles, fissures, and fistula be treated without surgery?

Some early cases can be managed with medicines, diet, and lifestyle changes. Surgery may be advised if symptoms are severe, recurrent, or not improving.

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure done through small cuts using a camera and specialised instruments for selected abdominal conditions.
