Commonly treated conditions

  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): Chronic abdominal pain accompanied with irregular bowel motions characterises Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Its treatment involves medication to relieve the symptoms.

  • Esophagitis: It is the inflammation of the oesophagus. Its treatment involves taking medicines and doing relaxation therapy to prevent regurgitation.

  • Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD): GERD is a chronic digestive disorder in which the liquid content of the stomach leaks into the oesophagus, a tube that connects the mouth and digestive tract. It is treated through medication and procedures, such as linx surgery and Nissen fundoplication.

  • Celiac disease: It is an autoimmune illness that is induced by the consumption of gluten. It causes damage to the intestinal lining, which leads to diarrhoea, lethargy, weight loss, bloating, and anaemia, among other symptoms. It can only be managed by taking a gluten-free diet.

  • Peptic ulcer disease: Peptic ulcers are open sores that form on the inner lining of your stomach and the upper region of your small intestine. They are caused by a variety of factors. The treatment involves medication and peptic ulcer surgery, if required.
