A gastro doc is basically a specialist for all your stomach and digestion issues. They check and treat problems in your food pipe, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas and all that. Like, if you’ve got acidity, ulcers, IBS, hepatitis, liver issues then they’re the right person.
If you’re having stomach pain that keeps coming, bloating, too much gas, acidity, constipation, loose motions, blood in potty, yellow eyes (jaundice), or trouble swallowing food – don’t wait, better go to a gastro doc. Also, for liver or pancreas problems, they know best.
They handle issues like ulcers, fatty liver, hepatitis B and C, acid reflux (GERD), IBD like Crohn’s or colitis, pancreas swelling, and even piles or fistula sometimes. They also do tests like endoscopy and colonoscopy.
Usually the consultation fee is between ₹500 to ₹1200. If the doctor is senior or hospital is big, it can be a bit more. Some clinics include minor procedures in the same charge too.
Main test done by a gastroenterologist are endoscopy (camera through mouth), colonoscopy (camera from back side), liver biopsy (to check liver condition), ERCP (for bile and pancreas), and sometimes capsule endoscopy (you swallow a camera pill).
Yes, they treat issues related to liver also. Liver is one of the main things they deal with fatty liver, hepatitis, jaundice, cirrhosis. Some of them even do only liver-related stuff, that’s called hepatologist.
While visiting the doctor you should take all old files, blood test results, sonography or CT scan reports if any, list of medicines you’re taking, and write down your symptoms. Also, don’t eat anything before going if they’ve told you about some test like endoscopy.
Yes, many are available on DocIndia and other apps. It’s okay for follow-up, report checking, or simple questions. But for proper tests or if pain is bad, better to go in person.
Big hospitals in Ludhiana for gastro are DMCH (Dayanand), SPS Hospital, Fortis, and Hero DMC Heart Institute. They’ve got good setups and specialist gastro teams.
