Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

SCREENING FOR COLORECTAL POLYPS

Screening for Colorectal Polyps

The detection of colorectal polyps through screening plays an essential role in preventing colorectal cancer development by removing these growths early on.

  • The majority of polyps cause no symptoms but can bleed subtly causing anemia over time.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS)

Diagnosis and Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common disorder affecting the large intestine characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits without detectable organic causes.

  • Main symptoms include: Cramping, bloating, diarrhea or constipation intermittently occurring over months.
  • Causal factors may involve: Gut-brain axis dysfunction, stress triggers, infections or food sensitivities.
  • The diagnosis is clinical, based on symptom patterns after excluding other diseases via blood tests or colonoscopy if indicated.
  • Treatment centers on symptom relief: dietary adjustments like low FODMAP diet, fiber supplements, antispasmodics or psychological therapies where needed.

Lifestyle modifications combined with targeted treatments allow many patients to manage IBS effectively long-term without progression to more severe conditions.

SCREENING AND PREVENTION OF HEPATITIS B

Screening and Prevention of Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects liver function; early identification is important to prevent chronic disease progression.

  • Transmission routes: Bloodborne exposure, sexual contact, and mother-to-child transmission at birth are common pathways.
  • Screening methods include: Blood tests detecting hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or antibodies.
  • Treatment: Antiviral medications help control viral replication in chronic cases but no cure exists for active infection.
  • Prevention strategies: Vaccination programs are highly effective; safe practices minimize spread risk.

This condition can often remain silent initially but carries risks of cirrhosis or liver cancer if unmonitored. Regular screening supports timely intervention.

MANAGEMENT OF GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (GERD)

Management of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing discomfort and potential complications if untreated.

  • Symptoms include: Heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing.
  • Causes: Weak or relaxed lower esophageal sphincter allows acid reflux.
  • Diagnosis involves: Patient history, endoscopy, and sometimes pH monitoring tests.
  • Treatment options: Lifestyle modifications like diet changes, medications including antacids and proton pump inhibitors, and occasionally surgery for severe cases.

With proper management, most patients achieve symptom relief and prevent complications such as esophagitis or Barrett’s esophagus over time.

COLONOSCOPY SCREENING

Colonoscopy Screening

A colonoscopy is a crucial procedure to examine the inner lining of the large intestine (colon and rectum). It helps detect abnormalities before symptoms appear, improving preventive healthcare.

  • Purpose: Primarily used to screen for colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps.
  • Procedure: A flexible tube with a camera is gently inserted through the rectum to visualize the colon.
  • Preparation: Patients undergo bowel cleansing to ensure clear visualization.
  • Findings & Diagnosis: Polyps, inflammation, or other abnormalities can be identified and biopsied during the exam.
  • Treatment & Follow-up: Early detection allows removal of polyps reducing cancer risk; follow-ups depend on findings.

This screening is recommended for adults starting at age 50 or earlier with risk factors. It plays a vital role in preventing serious disease by catching issues early.
