Medical Gastroenterology Services
Medical Gastroenterology in Chennai
The gut is more than a food-processing system — it’s your body’s second brain. Every emotion, meal, or stress response reflects through it. When your digestive system falters, it impacts everything — energy, mood, and immunity.
That’s where Medical Gastroenterology steps in — the science of diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the digestive tract, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.
Our Gastroenterology Department combines clinical expertise, cutting-edge diagnostics, and patient-centered care to restore digestive health from the inside out.
What Is Medical Gastroenterology?
Medical Gastroenterology focuses on non-surgical treatment of diseases affecting the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and esophagus.
It covers everything from acidity and gastritis to complex disorders like ulcerative colitis, liver cirrhosis, and pancreatic inflammation.
Our gastroenterologists are trained to decode gut symptoms with scientific accuracy — using endoscopy, colonoscopy, and advanced imaging to find the root cause and create a personalized treatment plan.
Common Conditions We Treat
Our department addresses a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal and liver-related problems, including:
- Acidity, GERD & Heartburn – Management of chronic acid reflux and esophageal disorders.
- Gastritis & Peptic Ulcers – Diagnosis through endoscopy and targeted medication therapy.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – Holistic approach combining diet, stress management, and gut flora balance.
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Advanced immunotherapy and biological treatments for Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis.
- Liver Disorders – Treatment for fatty liver, hepatitis B/C, cirrhosis, and liver failure management.
- Pancreatitis – Early detection and management of acute or chronic pancreatic inflammation.
- Gallbladder Diseases – Medical care for gallstones, bile duct obstruction, and infection.
- Gastrointestinal Bleeding – Endoscopic evaluation and non-surgical intervention.
- Celiac Disease & Food Intolerances – Gluten sensitivity testing and dietary rehabilitation.
Our team believes in treating beyond symptoms — focusing on long-term gut balance, nutritional recovery, and lifestyle correction.
Advanced Diagnostics and Procedures
We use next-generation equipment and global-standard protocols to ensure accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment.
- Upper GI Endoscopy – Visual examination of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
- Colonoscopy – Full colon evaluation for bleeding, inflammation, or cancer screening.
- ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) – For bile and pancreatic duct evaluation.
- Fibroscan & Liver Elastography – Non-invasive liver health assessment.
- Ultrasound & CT Abdomen – Imaging for digestive organs and vascular abnormalities.
Each test is followed by a clear report, doctor consultation, and a treatment plan built for your body’s needs.
Lifestyle and Preventive Focus
Most digestive issues are lifestyle-driven — poor diet, lack of hydration, stress, and irregular routines.
Our gastro team emphasizes preventive gastroenterology by integrating nutrition counseling, gut-friendly diet plans, and stress reduction strategies.
We empower patients to take control of their health with sustainable changes rather than temporary fixes.
We also offer screening programs for high-risk individuals — like those with a family history of gastric ulcers, liver disease, or colorectal cancer — ensuring early detection and prevention.

Our strength lies in blending human expertise with medical technology.
We use AI-assisted endoscopic imaging, precision pathology, and digital monitoring tools to deliver unmatched accuracy.
Our multi-disciplinary coordination with hepatologists, dietitians, and surgeons ensures comprehensive care under one roof — from diagnosis to rehabilitation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common symptoms include bloating, frequent acidity, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or unexplained fatigue. Ignoring these signs can lead to serious gastrointestinal issues. Early evaluation by a gastroenterologist helps identify the cause and prevent complications through timely care.
It begins with a detailed consultation, followed by diagnostic tests like endoscopy, ultrasound, or blood analysis. These tests help visualize your digestive organs, detect inflammation, and guide treatment plans. Most procedures are minimally invasive and completed within a few hours.
If you experience frequent acidity, abdominal discomfort, irregular bowel movements, unexplained weight loss, or prolonged indigestion, you should consult a gastroenterologist. Regular screening is also recommended for adults above 40 and those with a family history of liver or intestinal diseases.
