Our Digestive Health Centre provides comprehensive care for conditions affecting the digestive tract, liver, pancreas, and biliary system.

Combining the expertise of gastroenterology and hepatology, our multidisciplinary team manages a wide range of conditions—from acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to hepatitis and fatty liver disease. With advanced diagnostics and personalised treatment plans, we are committed to supporting your journey toward better digestive health.

Our Advanced Procedures

Common Digestive Health Conditions

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

A chronic condition where stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing heartburn, irritation, and discomfort.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Refers to chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, primarily Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, which may cause severe digestive symptoms.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

A common disorder affecting bowel function, leading to abdominal cramps, bloating, diarrhoea or constipation, without visible inflammation.

Colorectal Polyps and Cancer

Abnormal growths in the colon or rectum that may be benign or precancerous; early removal is key to preventing colorectal cancer.

Haemorrhoids

Swollen or inflamed veins in the rectum or anus that can cause bleeding, itching, pain, or discomfort, especially during bowel movements.

Hepatitis B and C

Liver infections caused by hepatitis viruses B or C that may lead to chronic liver inflammation, scarring, and increased cancer risk.

Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

A build-up of excess fat in the liver unrelated to alcohol intake; may progress to liver inflammation, fibrosis, or cirrhosis over time.

Liver Cirrhosis

Advanced liver scarring caused by chronic liver damage; it affects liver function and may lead to serious complications like portal hypertension.

Gallbladder and Bile Duct Conditions

Includes gallstones, cholecystitis (inflammation), and bile duct obstruction which can cause pain, jaundice, and digestive issues.

Pancreatic Disorders

Includes acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, or tumours, which may impact digestion, blood sugar control, and overall health.

When Should You See a Digestive Specialist?

Persistent Abdominal Pain or Bloating

Ongoing discomfort or fullness in the abdomen could indicate a gastrointestinal issue requiring further evaluation.

Frequent Heartburn or Acid Reflux

If you experience burning in the chest or regurgitation more than twice a week, it may be GERD and should be addressed early.

Unexplained Changes in Bowel Movements

Sudden or long-term diarrhoea, constipation, or changes in stool colour or consistency may signal digestive tract concerns.

Jaundice (Yellowing of Skin or Eyes)

A yellow tint in the skin or eyes may be a sign of liver, gallbladder, or bile duct issues that require prompt attention.

Fatigue or Signs of Liver Dysfunction

Unusual tiredness, poor appetite, or swelling may be linked to liver problems such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.

Routine Screenings Are Recommended If You:
  • Are aged 50 or above
  • Have a family history of colorectal or liver cancer
  • Experience long-term digestive symptoms
  • Have chronic liver conditions such as Hepatitis B/C or NAFLD
