    FAQ's

    Gastroenterology is a field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with gastrointestinal tract which consist of oesophagus, stomach, intestine, liver, pancreas, and more.

    You should consult a gastroenterologist when you experience symptoms like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhoea, changes in bowel habits, difficulty in swallowing, backwash of food, bitter taste, unexplained weight loss, and so on.

    The gastroenterology and hepatology department at Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, is equipped to address a diverse spectrum of conditions. Our skilled gastroenterologists, trained at premier institutions, bring years of experience and a compassionate approach to patient care. Employing cutting-edge diagnostics such as the Olympus high-definition endoscopy system, Spyglass Chol angioscopy, and advanced procedures like Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD), Third Space Endoscopy, and Dilatation Procedures, we stand out as the preferred choice for comprehensive gastroenterology care.

    For the day of your endoscopy, please refrain from consuming any food or liquids for a minimum of 8 hours before the procedure. You can continue taking your medications up to 4 hours before the examination, using small sips of water as needed.

    While the procedure might be uncomfortable, it should not be painful. You may be given an anaesthetic throat spray and a gentle sedative injection that can make you more comfortable.

    Following esophageal dilatation, abstain from consuming solid foods for a minimum of two to four hours post-procedure. During this period, restrict your intake to liquids only. Gradually reintroduce soft foods into your diet as per the doctor’s recommendations.

    Piles can be managed through conservative approaches like corticosteroid creams, laxatives, and medications. Surgical treatments, including stapled hemorrhoidopexy, laser surgery, and the Longo operation, are highly effective. At the gastroenterology department of Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, we house a Piles Clinic which is dedicated to providing specialised care for piles.
