What is a gastroenterologist?
A gastroenterologist is a physician who specializes in the gastrointestinal tract (including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine) and other digestive organs (liver, pancreas, bile ducts, and gall bladder). Gastroenterologists see patients in the hospital and clinic, and also perform endoscopic procedures (e.g., upper endoscopy and colonoscopy).
Why Do I Need To See A Gastroenterologist?
Your GI doctor will communicate with your primary care physician about the results of your visit and/or procedure. They will discuss what is appropriate for treatment, follow-up visits and/or future exams if needed.
May I Take My Current Medications Before The Colonoscopy Or Any Other Procedure?
Some medications can be taken as usual, like blood pressure medication. Some medications can interfere with the exam. Inform your doctor about your medications and any allergies you may have to medications. The prep will also vary on the type of procedure scheduled.
What If The GI Procedure Shows Something Abnormal?
If your doctor thinks an area needs further evaluation, the physician might biopsy the site to be analyzed. Your GI doctor might control bleeding by injecting medications or by cauterization (sealing off bleeding vessels with heat treatment) or by small clips. Your doctor also might find polyps and the physician can remove them during the exam.
