About Intestinal Problem

Intestinal problems encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the small and large intestines, requiring expert diagnosis and management by a gastroenterologist. These issues can include inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), infections, celiac disease, intestinal obstructions, polyps, and cancers. A gastroenterologist employs a comprehensive approach, starting with a detailed medical history and physical exam, followed by diagnostic procedures such as colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, or imaging studies like CT scans. Treatment is highly personalized, ranging from dietary modifications and medication management to advanced endoscopic interventions or surgery, all aimed at relieving symptoms, managing inflammation, and restoring normal intestinal function.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
