Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology Hospital in Juhu, Mumbai

CritiCare Asia Hospitals, the best gastroenterology hospital in Juhu, Mumbai, offers comprehensive care for digestive and liver-related conditions, treating everything from common issues like acid reflux and gallstones to more complex disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease and liver disease. Our gastroenterology team combines detailed clinical assessment with endoscopic and diagnostic evaluation to identify the exact cause of a symptom before deciding on treatment. Many digestive conditions share overlapping symptoms, so accurate diagnosis is the first and most important step. Care progresses through assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, with medical management tried first by gastroenterology doctors wherever it's appropriate.

Conditions We Treat

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
    a group of chronic conditions, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, that cause ongoing inflammation of the digestive tract and require long-term management
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
    a functional bowel disorder causing abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits, without visible structural damage to the intestine
  • Acid Reflux (GERD)
    a condition where stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the oesophagus, causing heartburn, regurgitation, and, if left untreated, damage to the oesophageal lining
  • Gallstones
    hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder, sometimes causing no symptoms and at other times triggering severe pain requiring gastroenterology surgery
  • Liver Diseases
    a broad category covering conditions such as fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and cirrhosis, ranging widely in severity and progression
  • Acute Pancreatitis
    sudden inflammation of the pancreas, often presenting as severe abdominal pain, and requiring prompt evaluation
  • Melena
    dark, tarry stools indicating bleeding in the upper digestive tract, treated as a symptom requiring urgent diagnostic workup rather than a standalone condition

Diagnostic Procedures

Diagnosis in gastroenterology relies heavily on direct visualisation of the digestive tract, alongside clinical history and lab testing.

  • Colonoscopy
    an examination of the large intestine using a flexible scope, used to detect polyps, inflammation, bleeding sources, and other abnormalities
  • Endoscopy
    a general term for scope-based examination of the digestive tract, allowing direct visual assessment of areas that imaging alone cannot fully evaluate
  • OGD (Oesophago-Gastro-Duodenoscopy)
    an upper digestive tract examination covering the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum, typically used to investigate reflux, ulcers, or unexplained bleeding
  • Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
    combines endoscopy with ultrasound imaging to assess the digestive tract wall and nearby organs, useful for detailed evaluation of the pancreas and bile ducts

Gastroenterology Treatments

  • Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
    a procedure combining endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts and pancreas, including removal of gallstones lodged outside the gallbladder
  • Flexible Colonoscopy
    beyond its diagnostic role, colonoscopy is also used therapeutically to remove polyps and manage certain sources of bleeding during the same procedure

Frequently Asked Questions

Small, symptom-free gallstones are sometimes monitored rather than treated immediately. Once they cause pain or complications, removal of the gallbladder with a gastroenterology surgery is usually recommended.

IBS is a functional disorder affecting bowel function without visible tissue damage, while IBD involves chronic, visible inflammation of the digestive tract. The two require different diagnostic approaches and long-term management.

Colonoscopy is typically performed under sedation, so most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure itself. Mild bloating afterward is common and usually resolves quickly. Consult the best gastroenterology doctors in Juhu at CritiCare Asia Hospitals for advanced treatment.

Diet and lifestyle adjustments - smaller meals, avoiding trigger foods, not lying down soon after eating - help manage mild reflux, but persistent or worsening symptoms often need medical evaluation to rule out conditions like GERD or a hiatal hernia that require targeted treatment.

Persistent digestive symptoms - abdominal pain lasting more than a few weeks, unexplained weight loss, blood in stool, or difficulty swallowing - warrant a gastroenterologist's evaluation, since these can point to conditions that need specialised diagnostic tools to identify correctly.
