Your digestive health is a significant contributor to your overall health, and SSD Hospital in Kopar Khairane knows how significant that is. Our expertise in our Gastroenterology and Department is focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing every type of digestive system disorder — from everyday issues such as acid reflux to more complicated ones such as liver disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

What Is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is the field of medicine that specializes in the digestive tract — your stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and beyond. Whether it's something simple like indigestion or as severe as colon cancer, gastroenterologists are the specialists who deal with these problems. Here at Echelon Hospital, our staff of highly skilled experts collaborates closely with every patient to understand the core of the issue and deliver efficient, customized treatment.

Common Digestive Disorders We Treat

At Echelon Hospital, we commonly treat a variety of conditions, such as:

• Acid Reflux (GERD): Regular heartburn or regurgitation.
• Stomach & Duodenal Ulcers: Sore spots within the stomach or small intestine.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Causes belly pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, two chronic diseases requiring continued care.
• Liver Diseases: Such as fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
• Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas, usually painful and severe.
• Celiac Disease: Gluten intolerance that hurts the small intestine.
• Colon Polyps & Cancer: Growths that can be benign or potentially become cancerous.

How We Treat You at Echelon Hospital

We practice thorough and sympathetic care. Treatment is customized to your condition and overall well-being. This is how we do it:

1. Medications

   • PPIs for GERD and ulcers
   • Biologics & Immunosuppressants for IBD
   • Antivirals for hepatitis

2. Lifestyle Support

   We advise you on practical dietary and lifestyle adjustments, like gluten-free diets for celiac disease or abstinence from alcohol for liver disease, to enhance your quality of life daily.

   These low-risk therapies may involve:

   • Polyp removal
   • Stent placement for obstructions
   • Dilation for constricted parts of the GI tract
