Dr. Raghu D K is one of the most renowned gastroenterologists in Hyderabad, specializing in the treatment and management of disorders related to the digestive system and the liver. He is experienced in handling advanced GI complications, including colorectal cancer, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Crohn’s disease, pancreatic diseases, gallbladder irregularities and benign colon polyps. Furthermore, Dr. D K offers treatment for milder clinical issues such as bowel inflammation, acute diarrhoea, gastrointestinal ulcers and structural damage in the colon.
A gastroenterologist analyses the stomach, biliary system, intestines and liver to diagnose the cause of the patient’s condition. Most GI disorders are treated and managed through internal medicine. However, in certain cases, gastroenterologists may opt for minimally invasive procedures like endoscopy to assess the severity of the problem.
Dr. Raghu D K serves as the first point of contact for patients diagnosed with any GI-related diseases. Common symptoms of GI conditions include abdominal bloating, cramps, and irregular bowel movements. These symptoms can also indicate severe problems like colon cancer. To avoid risk of severe complications, Dr. DK may recommend a colonoscopy to screen for malignant growths in the affected region.
Note that procedures such as endoscopies and colonoscopies serve as both diagnostic and treatment methods. However, they are not considered major surgical operations and are only applicable when the condition has not progressed significantly. Thus, Dr. Raghu recommends high-risk individuals, including adults aged over 50, to opt for regular checkups to enable preventive clinical care.
With nearly two decades of clinical experience, Dr. Raghu D K is one of the best GI specialists in Hyderabad and works closely with surgical experts to provide holistic treatment to patients. His extensive training has enabled him to treat complex gastrointestinal disorders and provide the necessary care to assists an individual’s complete recovery.
