Gastroenterology
Expert Care for Digestive Health
Sahaj Hospital provides evaluation and treatment for digestive system disorders affecting the food pipe, stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas. Our approach focuses on identifying the cause of symptoms and recommending appropriate treatment based on each patient's medical history and condition.
If you experience persistent digestive problems, timely medical evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and guide your treatment.
Conditions We Treat
The Gastroenterology Department focuses on evaluating and managing a range of digestive health conditions, including:
- Acid Reflux and GERD: Heartburn and acid regurgitation caused by stomach contents flowing back into the food pipe.
- Gastritis and Peptic Ulcers: Inflammation of the stomach lining and sores affecting the stomach or upper small intestine.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A digestive condition associated with abdominal discomfort and changes in bowel habits.
- Constipation and Diarrhoea: Persistent difficulties with bowel movements that may require medical assessment.
- Liver Disorders and Jaundice: Conditions affecting liver function and causing yellowing of the skin or eyes.
- Pancreatic Disorders: Conditions affecting the pancreas that may cause abdominal pain and digestive problems.
- Abdominal Pain and Bloating: Persistent discomfort, indigestion or excessive gas that may need further evaluation.
When to Consult a Gastroenterologist
