Common Questions
Gastroenterology FAQs
When should I see a doctor for stomach pain?
See a doctor if stomach pain, acidity or vomiting keeps coming back or lasts more than a few days. Sudden severe pain, vomiting blood, black stools or pain with high fever need urgent care – come to our 24×7 emergency.
What are the signs of gallstones?
Gallstones may cause pain in the upper right or middle of the abdomen, often after fatty meals, along with nausea or vomiting. Some gallstones cause no symptoms and are found on sonography.
Do gallstones always need surgery?
Not always. Gallstones that cause repeated pain, infection or other problems are usually treated with surgery to remove the gallbladder. Your doctor will advise the right option after tests.
What are the symptoms of appendicitis?
Appendicitis usually starts as pain around the navel that moves to the lower right side of the abdomen, with fever, nausea and loss of appetite. It needs urgent medical attention.
Is hernia surgery necessary?
A hernia does not go away on its own and can become painful or blocked. Surgery is usually advised to repair it. Sudden severe pain in a hernia needs emergency care.
Which tests are used for digestive problems?
Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may advise blood and stool tests, sonography or a CT scan. Pluto Hospital has an automated lab, sonography and a 128-slice CT scanner on site.
Is cashless insurance available for gastro surgery?
Yes. Cashless treatment is available with Star Health and other empanelled insurers and TPAs, subject to your policy terms and insurer approval.
