Who is a Gastroenterologist?

An area of medicine called gastroenterology deals with conditions of the digestive system. The main focus of the field of gastroenterology is the diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Like cardiology, which deals with heart diseases, this medical field is actually a subspecialty of internal medicine.

In order to diagnose and treat diseases of the digestive system, a gastroenterologist must first complete a broad internal medicine residency program. In cases of abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or changes in bowel habits where the diagnosis is uncertain or where specialized diagnostic procedures are required, a gastroenterologist is frequently consulted.


What are the qualifications of a gastroenterologist?

Step 1: Complete a Bachelor's Degree

Step 2: Pass the MCAT

Step 3: Finish your medical school program

Step 4: Obtain a license

Step 5: Complete Residency Training

Step 6: Complete a fellowship in gastroenterology

Step 7: Earn Board Certification

Step 8: Keep learning

Step 9: Become a member of a professional association


What does a gastroenterologist do?

Regardless of whether your personal doctor referred you to us or you chose to see a gastroenterologist on your own, your initial appointment will start with a discussion of your general health and past medical history.

Any major illnesses or operations you may have had in the past should be disclosed. Take a list of any current medications and any drug allergies with you. Before beginning a comprehensive general physical examination, the doctor will ask you additional questions about the reason for your visit. For the majority of patients receiving a thorough evaluation in a gastroenterologist's office, additional diagnostic tests like blood tests, x-rays, or endoscopic examinations of the stomach (gastroscopy) or large intestine (colonoscopy) will be carried out.

Most scope tests are performed under intravenous sedation to minimize discomfort, and specific preparation is necessary. Any special preparation that will be required will be explained by the staff.

Tell them if you have diabetes or are taking Coumadin. You must bring a friend to drive you directly home if sedation is used, and you must arrange to take the rest of the day off work.

After the tests are finished, the doctor will describe your condition and suggest a particular course of action. It is encouraged that you ask questions. It is crucial that you are aware of all the circumstances surrounding your condition and feel at ease receiving the recommended treatment.


What diseases does a gastroenterologist treat?

When the diagnosis is murky or complex diagnostic procedures are required, a gastroenterologist is frequently consulted. The conditions that a gastroenterologist can treat include but are not limited to:

  • Internal Pain
  • Abnormal X-ray results
  • Colon Cancer
  • Colon Screening Exams
  • Colon Polyps
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Crohn's Disease
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Diverticulosis
  • Gastritis
  • Esophageal Reflux
  • GERD
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Heartburn
  • Hiatal Hernia
  • Hepatitis
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Indigestion
  • Liver Disease
  • Jaundice
  • Nausea Diarrhea
  • Malabsorption
  • The Rectal Bleeding
  • Post-Operative Colon Examinations
  • Ulcerative Colitis
  • Spastic Colon
  • Unexpected Weight Loss
  • Vomiting
  • Ulcers

Common problems you should see a gastroenterologist for

The following are some of the most common conditions, illnesses, and disorders that gastroenterologists diagnose and treat:

  • Gastrointestinal, liver, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer
  • IBS, or irritable bowel syndrome
  • CAPS stands for centrally mediated abdominal pain syndrome.
  • Celiac Disease
  • Gastroparesis
  • Chronic Bowel Disease
  • The disease of the Gallbladder
  • GERD (Acid Reflux and Heartburn)
  • Swollen veins in the lower portion of the rectum and anus are hemorrhoids.
  • Hepatitis C
  • Polyps (Unusual Tissue Growths)
  • Ulcers (awful stomach lining sores)
  • Pancreatitis

There are a few common signs and symptoms that may call for a visit to your gastroenterologist, who can then identify and treat any of the numerous associated disorders.


For which symptoms should one consult a gastroenterologist?

Constipation
If you have fewer than three bowel movements per week, you may be experiencing constipation due to a blockage, neurological problems, hormonal or muscular dysfunction, diet, or other factors. The cause may be ascertained with the aid of a gastroenterologist.

Runny stools may be a sign of other digestive disorders, including Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, to name a few, or they may be caused by a virus, parasite, or bacteria, lactose intolerance, an adverse drug reaction, or all of the above. Everybody gets gas, but having excessive gas on top of other symptoms can be concerning and could be a sign of lactose intolerance, Crohn's disease, or colon cancer.

The Rectal Bleeding
Blood in the stool generally indicates that there is bleeding somewhere in your digestive tract, though the severity of the causes can vary. Hemorrhoids, an anal fissure, or a medical condition like cancer could be to blame for this. Hemorrhoids are another possible cause.

Chronic Heartburn
Rare cases of heartburn are probably nothing to worry about, but persistent heartburn may be a sign of esophageal cancer, Barrett's esophagus, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). If you experience acid reflux frequently, you may be given a GERD diagnosis and start taking medication to ease your discomfort. Test results may support the diagnosis.

Bloating and abdominal pain
It might not be necessary to see a specialist if you occasionally experience mild abdominal pain and bloating. In contrast, if this continues after almost every meal or is accompanied by nausea or painful bowel movements, let your doctor know as they might refer you to a gastroenterologist for additional testing.

Dysphagia, difficulty swallowing, or esophageal pain
You might experience swallowing issues or become unable to swallow as a result of certain illnesses. An upper endoscopy may be necessary for a gastroenterologist to diagnose and start treating persistent or worsening esophageal pain or difficulty swallowing.

Unexpected Weight Loss
Weight loss usually occurs gradually with diet and exercise. However, a sudden, sharp decline, such as 5% within six to twelve months, can point to an underlying condition like chronic pancreatitis, cirrhosis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or peptic ulcer.


When should I go to the gastroenterologist?

Any of the following typical symptoms should prompt a visit to a gastroenterologist: Blood in the rectus, leaks or stains from underwear, and urges to urinate that are difficult to control.

Pay attention to these specific signs

Serious digestive health conditions frequently show other, additional, or more pronounced symptoms. Make an appointment with a gastroenterologist if you experience any of the symptoms frequently associated with the illnesses listed below.

  • GERD (heartburn)
  • Bowel inflammation
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Crohn's disease

Does a gastroenterologist provide home consultations?

Yes, you can speak with a gastroenterologist in Pune online in 15 minutes. In-person consultations or video calls with a gastroenterologist in Pune are the most effective ways to identify and treat medical conditions.


How much does it cost to see a gastroenterologist in Pune?

Different gastroenterologists in Pune charge different visitation fees. Your geographic location is the key determinant. In Pune, a gastroenterologist's consultation typically costs between 500 and 1500 Indian rupees. The type of treatment used and the seriousness of the condition are additional factors that influence the cost.


Can a gastroenterologist perform surgery?

Surgery is not performed by a gastroenterologist. His expertise is restricted to medical diagnosis and care. However, gastroenterologists do perform procedures like liver biopsies and endoscopic ("scope") examinations of the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, and large bowel under the general category of surgery. Additionally, the gastroenterologist frequently collaborates with surgeons both before and after surgery to help choose the best procedure for a given patient and to provide follow-up care specific to the digestive disorder.

Through the LYBRATE website, you can frequently find in-network gastroenterologists in Pune, or you can check their contract status by contacting the LYBRATE website directly. You will then receive the information you need via Lybrate to determine whether your specific needs are covered.


How to choose a gastroenterologist in Pune?

Services Offered And Facilities At Hand

You should first think about the range of services a GI doctor provides. Functional and structural conditions of the gastrointestinal tract are the two main categories. Structural conditions are caused by abnormalities in your GI tract. Here are a few instances:

  • Abdomen polyps
  • Colon cancer
  • Inflammatory bowel conditions
  • Hemorrhoids

Qualifications and Additional Features Your general well-being greatly depends on your gastrointestinal health. You should only work with gastroenterologists who have successfully passed a board exam. The ability to practice both internal and gastrointestinal medicine should be a requirement for your gastroenterologist.

GI doctors have a variety of qualities in addition to their credentials, which speak to their knowledge and proficiency in identifying, diagnosing, and treating diseases. Experienced medical professionals may be able to treat your condition more successfully and quickly. Therefore, pick a physician with impressive expertise.

Your gastroenterologist should also communicate with you in a manner that is comfortable for you. In order for your doctor to understand your concerns, communication is essential. Consequently, the doctor you select should be one with whom you feel at ease.

Consider How Accessible Their Clinic Is

Also take accessibility into account, to finish. The terms "accessibility" refer to three concepts, namely:

  • Availability
  • Location
  • Affordability

You should think about a GI doctor's reputation and area of specialization before choosing them. The standard of patient care and services should come next. Finally, make sure you are working with a doctor who is accessible and reasonably priced.
