Free Flexi Sigmoidoscopy For Gastric Problems in Thane?

Dear Mahesh Dhomane Ji,

Since you are 90 years old and have been suffering from gastric problems for the last two months, it is important to consult a Gastroenterologist as soon as possible. At your age, persistent stomach or bowel-related symptoms should not be ignored, as they require a proper medical evaluation before deciding on any procedure.

A Flexible Sigmoidoscopy is commonly advised to examine the lower part of the large intestine (rectum and sigmoid colon). It helps diagnose conditions such as inflammation, ulcers, bleeding, polyps, infections, or colorectal disease. However, the procedure should only be performed after a Gastroenterologist evaluates your symptoms and medical history.

If you are looking for charitable or affordable hospitals in Thane, you consider :

• Kaushalya Medical Foundation Trust Hospital

• Oscar Medical Foundation & Research Centre

• Shree Nirmala Devi Charitable Hospital

HexaHealth is not a hospital. We help patients connect with experienced doctors and suitable partner hospitals for consultation and treatment.

Kindly share the following details :

• What symptoms are you experiencing? (Constipation, bleeding, abdominal pain, weight loss, diarrhoea, etc.)

• Has any doctor already recommended Flexible Sigmoidoscopy?

• Do you have any previous endoscopy, colonoscopy, or blood test reports?

• Are you looking for free treatment, concessional treatment, or treatment under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY)?

Based on these details, we will help you connect with the most suitable Gastroenterologist and partner hospital for your treatment.

Understanding Your Symptoms

Given your age and the duration of your gastric problem, it's important to be aware of common symptoms and when to seek immediate attention

• Persistent indigestion or heartburn
  
  
• Abdominal pain, cramping, or discomfort
  
  
• Bloating or a feeling of fullness after eating small amounts
  
  
• Changes in bowel habits (constipation or diarrhea)
  
  
• Nausea or occasional vomiting
  
  
• Unexplained weight loss

At 90, these symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor to rule out any serious conditions.

Important Considerations for Your Health

• Dietary Modifications : Opt for easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, oily, acidic, and excessively sugary foods.
  
  
• Hydration : Drink plenty of water to aid digestion.
  
  
• Regular Check-ups : Regular consultations with a doctor are crucial, especially at your age, to manage chronic conditions and catch any issues early.

When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention (Alarming Symptoms)

• Severe, sudden, or worsening abdominal pain
  
  
• Blood in your stool (dark or bright red) or black, tarry stools
  
  
• Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite
