Q&A – Your Digestive Health Questions Answered
When should I see a gastroenterologist?
If you experience chronic digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or heartburn, it’s wise to consult a gastroenterologist for evaluation.
What is involved in a colon cancer screening?
Colon cancer screening typically involves a colonoscopy, where a thin, flexible tube with a camera is used to examine the interior of the colon for any abnormalities or signs of cancer.
Can lifestyle changes help with digestive disorders?
Yes, dietary modifications, stress management, and regular exercise can significantly improve many digestive conditions. Our team provides guidance on lifestyle changes that can help manage your symptoms.
Are endoscopic procedures painful?
Endoscopic procedures are generally not painful. Sedation is often used to ensure comfort during these procedures, which allows for a thorough examination with minimal discomfort.
How can I prepare for my gastroenterology appointment?
Preparation depends on the type of examination or treatment. We will provide detailed instructions regarding diet, medication, or other necessary steps before your appointment.
