Best Gastroenterologist in Civil Hospital Road, Karimnagar

Gastroenterologists are specialists with a high level of expertise in diagnosing and solving problems in the gastrointestinal tract. In other words, these are the specialists that treat problems in the food pipe, stomach, liver, intestines and other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. These specialists study and train for many additional years after completing their MBBS. Gastroenterologists earn an MD in Internal Medicine and then a DM in Gastroenterology or equivalent qualifications before they begin practising. Some of the conditions that these specialists treat include gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcers, colon polyps, prolapsed rectum, anal fissures and inflammatory bowel disease. These doctors can also treat appendicitis, enlarged spleen, liver disorders and haemorrhoids. Gastroenterologists perform procedures such as upper GI endoscopy, colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy to diagnose and treat their patients. However, such procedures are not always required, and these doctors usually prescribe medications as a first line of treatment.
