Prioritizing Digestive and Liver Health Is Essential

Madikeri, Oct 2: Doctors from Manipal Hospital, Mysuru, have advised that paying attention to digestive and liver health is crucial due to changing lifestyles and dietary habits. Speaking at a press conference, the doctors noted that conditions ranging from common digestive issues—such as gastritis, acidity, GERD, and ulcers—to fatty liver, alcohol-related liver problems, gallstones, and early-stage cancers are often dismissed as mere indigestion. They observed that because people initially ignore symptoms like persistent stomach pain, difficulty swallowing, or changes in bowel habits, they often consult specialists only at an advanced stage of the disease.

Discussing early detection and modern non-surgical treatments, Dr. Satish Rao A.K. stated that 'Third Space Endoscopy' facilities are available in only 25.5% of the surveyed centers in India. Advanced technologies like Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) enable the removal of early-stage gastrointestinal cancers without the need for open surgery. He stated that while conditions like gastritis, GERD, and fatty liver are commonly observed in Kodagu, warning signs such as difficulty swallowing, passing black stools, or unexplained weight loss should never be ignored.
