Guwahati, May 22: Medanta-Gurugram, on Sunday, got a team of gastroenterologists to screen and consult patients and prescribe the right treatment to them in Guwahati. Dr. Smruti Ranjan Mishra, director Gastroenterology, Institute of Digestive and Hepatobiliary Sciences, Medanta Gurugram, and his team consulted with patients at Ganga Clinic in Guwahati.
Notably, Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that deals with the digestive system, intestine, and its disorders. Dr. Mishra said that problems with the digestive system sometimes limit the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, store fat and regulate blood sugar. These issues might result in bigger problems at a later stage.
“The most common symptoms of problems related to gastroenterology are nausea, vomiting, pain in the abdominal area, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, bleeding, incontinence, or difficulty in swallowing which may seem small initially but may result in a bigger problem, if not treated early,” said Dr. Mishra, who has attended more than 60 conferences and workshops in various roles and has got 9 papers published in various Gastroenterology Management, Therapies, etc.
