FAQs

Consultation with a gastroenterologist in Siliguri involves a brief discussion on symptoms and medical and family history, as well as lifestyle. A physical examination is then done to check for signs of abdominal pain or swelling. Doctors may recommend imaging tests, such as an ultrasound. Further tests may include X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs, along with endoscopic procedures if needed. Based on the findings, they recommend a treatment plan.
 

One should see a gastroenterologist at Manipal Hospitals, Siliguri, if they show any of the following symptoms:

  • Difficulty swallowing

  • Heartburn

  • Constipation

  • Diarrhoea

  • Rectal bleeding

  • Light-coloured stool

  • Yellowing of eyes or skin

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Stomach ulcer

Gastroenterologists may recommend surgery if conservative treatments fail or if complications arise from gastrointestinal conditions. These situations include severe GI cancers, complex hernias, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and complications from conditions such as gallstones or diverticulitis. 
 

No, gastroenterologists cannot perform surgical interventions. Their focus lies on diagnosing and treating the condition using conventional treatments like lifestyle modifications, medications, and diet counselling. In cases where surgery is required, the patient is referred to a surgical gastroenterologist.
