Who is a Gastroenterologist?

Gastroenterologists are medical professionals with specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the liver and gastrointestinal (GI) tract.


What are the qualifications of a Gastroenterologist?

To become a gastroenterologist, aspirants must have passed their 10+2 exam with the minimum required aggregate marks in the science stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. They are now required to take the NEET-UG exam and other national-level exams to get admission to the MBBS/BDS program throughout the nation.

After completing a 5-years MBBS program, they must pursue the MD/MS/DNB postgraduate level course after clearing national level entrance exams like NEET-PG.

After that, you can pursue a specialization in the area, such as a DM or MCh in gastroenterology. Candidates who want to enroll in doctoral programs are chosen based on their performance in the prerequisite exams and entrance exams. To admit students to Ph.D.-level courses, several institutions administer their own entrance exams.


What does a Gastroenterologist do?

Gastrointestinal or GI tract disorders are primarily diagnosed and treated by gastroenterologists. Your primary care physician may refer you to a gastroenterologist for a more thorough evaluation of the problem if they discover something wrong with your GI tract.

Endoscopic operations are carried out by gastroenterologists in close collaboration with GI surgeons, who employ specialized tools to see the GI system and make diagnoses.


What diseases do Gastroenterologists treat?

As part of their training, gastroenterologists must possess a thorough understanding of the normal passage of food through the stomach and intestines, the assimilation of nutrients, the removal of waste from the body, and the role of the liver in the digestion process. They can identify problems like the following thanks to their specialty in

  • Stomach acid reflux (heartburn)
  • Colostrum polyps
  • Disease of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)
  • Hepatitis
  • Stomach ulcers
  • Colitis, disorders of the gallbladder, and biliary tract
  • Eating disorders
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBS)
  • Pancreatitis

Although the mouth is part of the GI system, gastroenterologists rarely treat or otherwise deal with this area. Instead, dentists and dental specialists concentrate on maintaining good oral health. Also, proctologists, who are experts in treating conditions of the rectum and anus, are distinct from gastroenterologists in another way.


Common problems you should see the Gastroenterologist for

GI disorders affect the gastrointestinal tract, which extends from the mouth to the anus. GIT disorders include conditions like GERD, diarrhea, and colorectal cancer. Some disorders exhibit symptoms despite the GI system appearing to be healthy upon examination. There are apparent GI tract anomalies as well as symptoms for other disorders. The majority of digestive illnesses are treatable or preventable.

GI diseases can be segregated into two types: structural and functional.

Functional digestive illnesses: are those in which the GI tract seems normal under the microscope but is dysfunctional in motion. The GI tract is frequently affected by these issues (including the colon and rectum). Examples include diarrhea, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nausea, food poisoning, gas, bloating, and GERD. If you witness any of these issues you can pay a visit to a gastroenterologist.

Gastrointestinal structural disorders: when your intestine not only functions improperly but also seems strange to the naked eye. Sometimes surgery is required to correct the structural defect. Strictures, stenosis, hemorrhoids, diverticular disease, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, anal fissures, perianal abscesses, anal fistula, colon polyps, colon cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease are typical instances of structural GI illnesses that can be diagnosed and treated by a gastroenterologist.

Functional gastrointestinal disorders, in contrast to structural gastrointestinal problems, are frequently managed with dietary and lifestyle adjustments.


For which symptoms should one consult a Gastroenterologist?

Your stomach's symptoms may be a sign of gastrointestinal disorders if they continue for weeks or even months. Some people have mild digestive problems that get worse over time. In other instances, stomach discomfort appears suddenly and persists for months. If you have persistent digestive issues, or any of the symptoms mentioned below it is important to consult with a doctor:

  • Vomiting and/or nauseous
  • Discomfort in the lower abdomen
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Bloating
  • Bleeding
  • Incontinence
  • Having trouble swallowing
  • Gain or loss of weight

One or more of these symptoms is frequently one of the earliest indications of digestive problems, hence shouldn’t be overlooked.


When should I go to the Gastroenterologist?

You might be referred to a gastroenterologist by your primary care physician if you:

experience unexplained blood in your stool, difficulty swallowing, or stomach pain; digestive problems, such as persistent diarrhea or constipation; persistent acid reflux or heartburn; or You may also want to visit a gastroenterologist for preventive treatment if you're over 50 because you may have a higher risk of colon cancer.

You ought to get screened frequently if you fall into this age category. Ask your doctor when to begin screenings if you have a family member who has colon cancer.

Can a Gastroenterologist perform surgeries?

A gastroenterologist's job is to identify and treat the problems and conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, digestive system, and liver, not to perform surgeries. However, they collaborate with gastrointestinal surgeons who carry out operations to replace or repair components of the digestive system. The esophagus (food pipe), stomach, small intestine, and large intestine are all included in this.

To provide patients with the best results, gastroenterologists are often called upon by surgeons and other medical professionals to help in the treatment of patients with digestive issues. These could be oncologists and neurologists, who treat ailments of the nerve system (cancer specialists).

A gastroenterologist can assist in determining the origin of your symptoms and make treatment suggestions.
