Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Gastroenterology department treat?
Conditions of the stomach, colon, liver and gallbladder — from H. pylori, acid reflux and gastritis to irritable bowel syndrome, gallstones, and diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy.
Do I need a gastroscopy?
Not every case does. The doctor decides if symptoms persist despite treatment, or if there are warning signs such as difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, vomiting blood or black stools.
Can H. pylori be treated permanently?
In most cases yes, with a treatment plan set by the doctor and a repeat test afterwards to confirm clearance. Follow-up matters because reinfection can occur.
How is IBS distinguished from more serious conditions?
That distinction needs medical assessment. Warning signs such as blood in the stool, weight loss or anaemia call for deeper investigation rather than settling on an IBS diagnosis.
