FAQ

Gastroenterology — Frequently Asked Questions

When should I get a colonoscopy?

Screening colonoscopy is recommended from age 45 for average-risk individuals, or earlier if there's a family history of colorectal cancer. Also indicated for blood in stool, unexplained iron deficiency, or change in bowel habits.

What is the difference between a gastroenterologist and a hepatologist?

Gastroenterologists manage the full digestive tract. Hepatologists are sub-specialists focusing exclusively on liver, gallbladder, and biliary diseases. Liver transplant physicians are a further sub-specialisation.
