Care usually begins with a detailed history of symptoms, diet, bowel pattern, medicines, previous illnesses and any relevant family history. The specialist examines the abdomen and reviews prior reports. Depending on the clinical picture, blood tests, stool tests, ultrasound or other imaging, endoscopy, or specialised motility testing may be discussed. Not every patient requires an invasive test.
The specialist first reviews your symptoms, when they began, previous treatment, current medicines and relevant medical history.
A focused examination is performed according to the symptoms and the body system involved.
Tests are advised when they can help clarify the diagnosis, assess severity or guide treatment.
The care plan is based on the diagnosis and may include medicines, monitoring, rehabilitation, a procedure, surgery or referral when appropriate.
The specialist decides which investigations are appropriate after reviewing the history and examination findings.
Care may include medical management, digestive investigations and endoscopic procedures according to the condition being evaluated.
Practical information to help patients prepare for a specialist consultation.
No. Many digestive complaints are assessed first through history and examination. Endoscopy may be advised when symptoms, age, red-flag features or treatment response make it clinically useful.
Bring previous prescriptions, blood tests, scans, endoscopy reports if any, and a list of current medicines. A short note of symptom timing and food triggers can also help.
Yes. Diet, infection, medicines, inflammation, motility and other medical conditions can produce overlapping symptoms, so assessment is aimed at identifying the most likely cause rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
Seek urgent medical attention for vomiting blood, black tarry stools, severe persistent abdominal pain, fainting, marked dehydration, or rapidly worsening symptoms.
