About Peritonitis

Peritonitis is a serious medical emergency involving inflammation of the peritoneum, the thin tissue lining the inner abdominal wall and covering the abdominal organs. It is not a procedure performed by a gastroenterologist, but rather a critical condition they diagnose and help manage. The gastroenterologist's role is pivotal in identifying the source of infection, often through diagnostic procedures like paracentesis (fluid analysis) or endoscopy, and collaborating with surgeons. Treatment is urgent and typically involves intravenous antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, and often emergency surgery to address the underlying cause, such as a perforated ulcer or ruptured appendix. Timely intervention is crucial to prevent life-threatening sepsis.

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.
