In India, major health care issues are solved by private doctors, especially in urban areas. Common people see general practitioners, general physicians, and general surgeons and from there they are referred to a specialist for further management of complex diseases and specialized procedures. Commonly, this hierarchy is beneficial to the patients but in some instances, when the patient reaches to the specialist, either it is too late, or the finances of the patient are drained out. So, in some cases, it’s better to meet a specialist for better and instant results. Gastroenterology is a sub-specialty that covers the problems related to the entire digestive process. The field of Gastroenterology includes not only the digestive tract starting from the esophagus (food-pipe), stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum; but covers the organs involved in digestive processes like the liver, gall-bladder, pancreas, and common bile duct. These problems are diagnosed by gastroenterologists by means of meticulous history taking, clinical examination, multiple blood tests, imaging, and endoscopy. These problems are treated by medications, endoscopy and sometimes surgical interventions are required. Dr. Manish Kumar Gupta is a practicing Gastroenterologist.
