Heart Burn and Acid Reflux
Heartburn is a burning feeling in the chest caused by stomach acid travelling up towards the throat (acid reflux). If it keeps happening, it’s called gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).
If you experience any of the symptoms above, it’s time to see our gastroenterologist. After performing a complete medical exam, your gastroenterologist may recommend you appropriate treatment or that you undergo an upper endoscopy to evaluate your symptoms and see if you have suffered any damage to your esophagus, or provide you with the peace of mind that everything is all right.
Upper GI Endoscopy
We perform standard upper GI endoscopy procedures, to examine the gastrointestinal tract. This Procedure is done to visualize the inside of Mouth , Esophagus, Stomach and upper part of Small Intestines.
Fibroscan
A Fibroscan is a simple, painless and non-invasive procedure used to accurately assess the health of the liver. A Fibroscan like a specialized ultrasound measures liver fibrosis or “scarring”, which is essentially liver damage that is often the result of metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic viral hepatitis or excess alcohol intake. A Fibroscan can identify the early signs of liver damage that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Colon and Rectal Cancer Screening
Colon cancer begins with a growth (a polyp) that is not yet cancer. Testing can help your doctor tell whether there is a problem, and some tests can find polyps before they become cancer. Most people who have polyps removed never get colon cancer. If colon cancer is found, you have a good chance of beating it with treatment if it is found early. Testing can find it early.
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopies are commonly performed to diagnose abnormalities of the large intestine and to screen for colorectal cancer and colorectal polyps. The procedure is frequently performed in an outpatient setting with minimal discomfort and inconvenience. Because colonoscopy allows doctors to identify and remove certain types of colon polyps that may develop into cancer, colonoscopy can be a therapeutic and even life-saving procedure.
