Good stomach health can be the key to overall well-being. Medicover Hospitals, Kakinada, offers a broad spectrum of stomach care treatments that address diverse gastrointestinal problems. Our Mission is to provide the highest level of care, from a simple colonoscopy to standard ERCP or EUS, and also perform highly specialised expert procedures. Here is a list of stomach care treatments at Medicover Hospitals, Kakinada.

Understanding the Importance of Stomach Health

Stomach health is a critical part of the digestive system, responsible for breaking down foods and absorbing nutrients. It also disposes of waste. Poor stomach health results in a multitude of problems: indigestion, bloating, constipation, and, more severely, ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). You must seek timely medical help for any stomach-related problems and to maintain overall gut health.

Comprehensive Stomach Care Treatments

At Medicover Hospitals, Kakinada, we provide the most comprehensive care options focused on the restoration and prevention of stomach-related issues. With our modern facilities and advanced medical equipment, we are able to deliver the best possible care. We have some of the critical types of treatments we provide below:

Diagnostic Services

The first step in accurate treatment is always a correct diagnosis. Our testing facilities include:

• Endoscopy: A procedure involving the use of a flexible tube that is attached to a camera and inserted into the oesophagus, stomach or duodenum. The test detects inflammation, ulcers, tumours and other problems.
• Colonoscopy: Similar to endoscopy, this procedure examines the colon and rectum. It is often used in particular cases to detect polyps, tumours and other disease states.
• Ultrasound: This noninvasive technique uses sound waves to create pictures of the abdominal cavity organs being studied. It can detect problems such as gallstones or liver disease and help diagnose pancreas trouble.
• CT Scan: A detailed imaging technique that gives cross-sectional views of the abdominal organs. It helps to diagnose various gastrointestinal diseases.

Medical Treatments

On the basis of their diagnosis, our gastroenterologists may suggest many different kinds of medical treatment, including:

• Medications: In situations such as GERD, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), we use drugs to inhibit the production of stomach acid, control inflammation and alleviate symptoms.
• Lifestyle Modifications: For stomach health, dietary modifications, exercise programs, and strategies for controlling stress can significantly improve the situation. Our dietitians and wellness counsellors work with patients to develop individual plans.
• Probiotics: Friendly bacteria maintain the ecological balance of the digestive tract and help digestion. For example probiotics can be especially effective in controlling diseases like IBS.

Surgical Interventions

Stomach surgery may sometimes be performed for some cases of diseases within the stomach. Some of the operations our highly trained surgeons perform are:

• Laparoscopic Surgery: A type of minor incision surgery that involves a camera system and treats conditions like gallstones, hernias, or appendicitis.
• Gastric Bypass Surgery: A type of weight-loss surgery that delivers changes to patients' digestive system in hopes they'll lose weight, and often be treated for conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes or high blood pressure.
• Fundoplication: This is a surgical procedure in which the upper part of the stomach, known as the fundus, is collectively wrapped around the lower end of the oesophagus to avoid acid reflux.
• Tumour removal: Surgery to remove benign or cancerous tumours located in the stomach, colon, etc.

Specialised Gastrointestinal Care

We at Medicover Hospitals, Kakinada, realise that each patient is different, and so is the gastrointestinal care requirement. Our specialised gastrointestinal care services cater to a vast range of conditions:

Paediatric Gastroenterology

Children's digestive systems are different, and only specially trained paediatric gastroenterologists have the most experience treating stomach-related conditions affecting infants, children, and teens. Common conditions include:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER): A common condition that causes stomach acid to flow back up the oesophagus, which can lead, in some cases, to symptoms and more serious complications.
• Constipation: Causing the accumulation of faeces in your colon and resulting in abdominal pain and other complications.
• Food Allergies: Noticing and managing allergies associated with the gut.

Hepatology Services

Our physicians specialise in liver health and the care of your entire digestive system. Conditions we address include

• Hepatitis: An inflammation of the liver that viral infections, alcohol or autoimmune disorders can cause.
• Cirrhosis: Long-term liver damage causes scarring and loss of function in the liver.
• Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Build up of fat in the liver, often associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Pancreatic Care

The pancreas produces enzymes and hormones that play key roles in digestion. Pancreatic care services offered:

• Pancreatitis: Acute or Chronic inflammation of the pancreas.
• Cancerous Gastrointestinal Tumour Treatment, Pancreatic Cancer: Surgical resection of cancer in the pancreas.
• Pancreatic Insufficiency: A disease in which there is an inadequate secretion of pancreatic enzymes, causing malabsorption and nutrient deficiencies.

Preventive Care and Wellness Programs

Prevention is better than Cure. Medicover Hospitals in Kakinada emphasises the importance of preventive care, offering wellness programs to support stomach health. Such programs include the following options:

• Regular Screenings: To identify latent danger early on through check-ups and screenings at regular intervals.
• Nutritional Counselling: A personalised eating regime set up in each case will provide the basis for further management of digestive health and handling conditions such as IBS or IBD.
• Stress Management: Techniques of coping with stress - like yoga, meditation, or psychotherapy -that are designed to offset its damaging impact on your stomach health.
• Weight Management: programs help patients reach and maintain a healthy weight, which not only reduces their risk of gastrointestinal trouble but also improves general health.
