What Is Gastroenterology?
Gastroenterology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, pancreas, and biliary system. It encompasses both functional disorders (conditions affecting how the digestive system works) and structural abnormalities that require intervention.
The digestive system plays a crucial role in your overall health. When problems arise—whether from infections, inflammation, structural damage, or functional disorders—they can significantly impact nutrition, comfort, and quality of life. A gastroenterologist is specially trained to investigate symptoms, establish accurate diagnoses, and deliver both medical and procedural treatments.
Key areas a gastroenterologist evaluates:
- Reflux, ulcers, and inflammation of the upper digestive tract
- Bowel habit changes, pain, and inflammatory conditions of the lower digestive tract
- Liver disease including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver conditions
- Pancreatic and biliary disorders causing pain and dysfunction
- Cancer screening and prevention through endoscopic surveillance
- Functional disorders like IBS affecting millions of people

info@jigyasahospital.inFrequently Asked Questions — Gastroenterology in Moradabad
How often should I have a colonoscopy?
Average-risk adults aged 45+ should have colonoscopy every 10 years if normal. Those with polyp history, family history, or risk factors need more frequent screening. Dr. Sahu will recommend the appropriate interval based on your individual risk.
Is endoscopy painful?
No. Procedures are performed under conscious sedation, ensuring comfort. You'll sleep through most of the procedure and wake without memories of discomfort.
How long does recovery take after colonoscopy?
Most people resume normal activities the next day. You shouldn't drive or operate machinery the day of the procedure due to sedation.
What does it mean if I have elevated liver enzymes?
Elevated liver enzymes indicate liver irritation or inflammation from various causes including viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, medication effects, or alcohol use. Further evaluation determines the cause.
Can fatty liver disease be reversed?
Yes, early-stage fatty liver disease is often reversible through weight loss (if overweight), alcohol elimination, and lifestyle modifications. Dr. Sahu develops personalized programs to reverse this condition.
What's the difference between IBS and IBD?
IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) is a functional disorder without inflammation or structural damage. IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) involves actual inflammation visible on endoscopy. IBD typically requires more aggressive treatment.
How is hepatitis C treated?
Modern direct-acting antivirals cure hepatitis C in over 95% of cases with minimal side effects and short treatment duration (8-12 weeks).
