Frequently Asked Questions — Gastroenterology in Chennai
What is fatty liver and can it be reversed?
Fatty liver (NAFLD) is the accumulation of fat in liver cells, often linked to obesity, diabetes, and poor diet. In early stages, it can be fully reversed through lifestyle changes and medical guidance from a gastroenterologist.
How is H. pylori diagnosed and treated?
H. pylori is diagnosed with a stool antigen test, which is available at MedWorksPlus. Treatment involves a short course of antibiotics combined with acid-reducing medication — with high success rates.
Is IBS a serious condition?
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is not life-threatening but significantly affects quality of life. Our gastroenterologists identify triggers and create personalised management plans including dietary advice and medication.
Do I need a colonoscopy for rectal bleeding?
Not always. Rectal bleeding has many causes, from haemorrhoids to more serious conditions. Your gastroenterologist will evaluate you first and decide if a colonoscopy referral is needed.
