For example, colonoscopy may be free or low-cost for people who are covered by government-provided healthcare, such as those who are part of the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Additionally, some private hospitals and clinics may offer free or low-cost colonoscopies to people over the age of 50 as part of a screening program.

The cost of a colonoscopy in India depends on the location and the specific facility. However, on an average, the cost of a colonoscopy in India ranges from around Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 15,000. However, the cost of colonoscopy in private hospitals might be higher than that of government hospitals.

Q: Colonoscopy cost in government hospitals?

In India, colonoscopies cost between Rs. 350 to Rs. 850 in the government hospitals and between Rs. 2,600 to Rs. 12,000 in the private hospitals.

Cost of colonoscopy depends on various factors. Starting price is ₹ 1,000 and the average cost is ₹ 11,250.

Q: Why colonoscopy is costly?

Colonoscopy can be costly for several reasons. One reason is that the procedure requires specialized equipment, such as a colonoscope, which can be expensive. Additionally, the procedure is typically performed by a specialist, such as a gastroenterologist, who may charge higher fees than a general practitioner. The cost may also include the cost of sedation or anesthesia during the procedure. Finally, the cost may also include the cost of any necessary follow-up care or treatment.

Q: What is the outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction treatment after gallbladder removal?

The outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction after gallbladder removal can vary depending on the obstruction's cause, severity, and duration. Medication: In some cases, a bile duct obstruction after gallbladder removal can be treated with a combination of medications, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, to help relieve symptoms and clear the blockage. ERCP: In more severe cases, a procedure known as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may be needed to remove the obstruction. Surgery: In specific cases, including cancerous growth, surgery may involve removal of the blocked section of the duct or, in severe cases, rerouting of the bile ducts through a procedure called a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

Q: Is a blocked bile duct an emergency?

Bile duct blockage can cause life-threatening infections if not treated in time. Eventually, they can lead to chronic liver diseases like biliary cirrhosis.

Q: Is the procedure for removing gallbladder while pregnant safe?

Recent advancements in laparoscopic surgery have made the procedure less invasive and have a shorter recovery time, which can decrease the risk of complications for both the mother and the baby. Also, this type of surgery can be performed with regional anesthesia, which is considered safer than general anesthesia during pregnancy.

Your dad's gastric issue is concerning. The meds don't seem effective. Stomach problems bring pain, bloating, and discomfort. Medications may fail if diet or stress cause the issue. Spicy foods, large meals, and stress worsen symptoms. Smaller portions, stress management, and avoiding trigger foods may improve his condition.

From last 7 days i have lose motion, avarage latrine time is two a day. before going to potty I feel pain at my lovely abdominal

Male | 34

You're dealing with diarrhea - that's loose, watery bowel movements. Causes range from infections to food intolerances or stress. Your tummy ache is likely cramps from diarrhea. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Eat bland foods like rice and bananas to soothe your stomach. Rest up, and avoid spicy/fatty food. If it persists over a week, see a gastroenterologist.

You seem to be having these pains to the point that you have been putting up with a lot. Pain in the lower and upper abdomen, as well as chest pain and vomiting after eating, can be signs of a problem with your digestive system. You could be facing problems like gastritis or acid reflux.

The last few months I noticed some blood when I pooped. For a while, every time I pooped there would be blood when I wiped and sometimes the bowel would have some blood in it also. Today, there was blood in my diarrhea.

Female | 21

Bright red blood in your stool or on the toilet paper are signs of many things such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and sometimes more serious conditions like colitis or even colorectal cancer. You need to see a gastroenterologist about this so they can find out what is causing it and give you the right treatment.

"I'm a 21-year-old female and I have a problem passing stool. When I pass stool, I experience pain and bleeding. Initially, the bleeding was minimal, but now it's excessive, and I also experience stomach pain.

Female | 21

It seems like you are experiencing unpleasant symptoms such as pain and bleeding during bowel movements associated with abdominal discomfort. These issues could be due to things like constipation, hemorrhoids, or anal fissures, which result in the more serious bleeding. It is important to increase your fiber consumption, drink a lot of water, and try over-the-counter medications for constipation relief. Consult a gastroenterologist if the excessive bleeding persists.

I am 23 years old and have been experiencing acidity with pain extending up to my neck for the past day. Please consult

Female | 23

You might be suffering from acid reflux. It occurs in a situation where the acid from the stomach moves to the esophagus thus giving a burning sensation. Lying down after eating may worsen it. Eat small meals to avoid discomfort. Stay upright after meals.

If the pain continues you should consult a gastroenterologist.

Female | 23

Different things such as indigestion, gastritis, or infections can cause stomach pains. When you go back to your doctor this time you let the doctor know that what they gave you last time did not work. The doctor might need to run more tests so they can find out what’s happening and give you something that’ll make you feel better.

Hello Doctor, 2 calculi of size12.4mm and 7.3mm have been noted in gal bladder one in fundus and other in neck respectively in ultrasound. I am having issue of pain in abdomen and back and nausea and headache. After the results of ultrasound what will be further treatment required. And also want to know if still endoscopy is required after detection in ultrasound?

Female | 33

Based on the ultrasound results, it seems that you have gallstones in your gallbladder, which is causing abdominal and back pain, nausea, and headache. And endoscopy is not required to diagnose or treat gallstones. But in some cases, an endoscopic ultrasound is used to get a better view of the gallbladder and surrounding structures. I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist or a surgeon for further evaluation and treatment options.

huge pain in lower abdomen..

Female | 16

Feeling a burning or cramping sensation in your lower abdomen is unpleasant and can be symptomatic of a variety of conditions. It is possible that the cause of such pain could be indigestion, gas, constipation, a menorrhea. Try drinking more water, eating food high in fiber, and taking an over-the-counter pain reliever, If it continues or becomes worse, though, don't slough it off on your own. You should take an appointment with a gastroenterologist to ensure that treatment is not delayed.

Couldn't eat anything coz of gastritis and I'm only taking avocado juice for almost a month. I feel fatigue and have headaches with dizziness.

Female | 29

Gastritis can make eating hard, and having avocado juice isn't giving your body all it needs. Symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and dizziness can happen when you lack essential nutrients. To feel better, try eating small, gentle meals. Foods such as oatmeal, bananas, or toast can be friendly to your stomach. Rest and stay hydrated as well.

Female | 20

You have discomfort in the lower abdomen. After sex, you might be dealing with a mild infection or inflammation. It might be the reason for pain and gas problems. Throwing up after meals may also indicate digestive system troubles. If the pain continues, visit a gastroenterologist for further examination.

I am 21 yrs male i have difficulty swallowing from about 2 months my food pipe just down the throat feels like chocked i also have difficulty taking burps Some times i also have chest pain and difficulty breathing. I also have consulted some doctors in ent department and medicine department. But, no results.

Male | 21

These might be the signs of esophageal constriction, a throat-narrowing disorder. This makes it difficult for the food to pass through the horizons of the food pipe. For this to be diagnosed and treated, you might need a thorough examination by a gastroenterologist who can carry out tests like endoscopy. Therapy may include the expansion of the affected area of the food pipe.

morning azithromycin 500 mg and night flagyl 400 can take

Male | 44

You're probably going through an infection. Your doctor is probably targeting different kinds of bacteria using azithromycin 500 mg in the morning and Flagyl 400 mg at night. Do not stop taking the medications even if you start feeling better. Prolong the treatment to ensure complete eradication of the infection. If you have any concerns or notice any unusual side effects, it's important to let your doctor know.
