You should seek evaluation if you experience persistent heartburn, unexplained abdominal pain, bloating, altered bowel habits, blood in stools, unexplained weight loss, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or difficulty swallowing. Early consultation prevents minor issues from progressing to serious conditions.

Upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy are performed under conscious sedation or monitored anaesthesia, making the procedure comfortable for most patients. You may experience mild bloating or throat discomfort after an OGD, but this resolves quickly.

You will be required to follow a clear liquid diet the day before the procedure and take a prescribed bowel preparation solution to cleanse the colon. Your gastroenterologist will provide detailed written instructions during your pre-procedure consultation.

A FibroScan is a painless, non-invasive ultrasound-based test that measures liver stiffness to detect fibrosis or cirrhosis. It takes under 10 minutes, involves no radiation, and is completely safe — even for patients with advanced liver disease.

The majority of GERD cases are effectively managed with lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Severe or refractory GERD may require surgical intervention; your gastroenterologist will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your specific condition.

Hepatitis C is treated with a course of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medications, which achieve a cure (Sustained Virological Response) in over 95% of patients. Treatment is typically 8–12 weeks in duration, with minimal side effects, and is available at Apollo Adlux under specialist hepatology care.

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a functional disorder causing abdominal pain and altered bowel habits without inflammation or structural damage. IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) — including Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis — involves chronic inflammation of the GI tract and requires long-term medical management.

Most colon polyps are benign, but certain types — particularly adenomatous polyps — can develop into colorectal cancer over time if not detected and removed. Regular colonoscopy screening is the most effective way to identify and eliminate polyps before they progress.
