Why Are Gastroenterology and Liver Problems Not Improving After 1 Year of Treatment?

Dear Kuldeep kimar ji

Since the gastric/digestive and liver problem has continued for about 1 year and you have already been admitted twice at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, it is important to get a detailed review rather than continuing the same medicines without finding the exact cause. We understand this can be worrying, especially when you have already taken treatment but have not felt much improvement.

What to Do

• Consult a Gastroenterologist/Hepatologist for a fresh evaluation.
• Take all previous admission papers, prescriptions, blood tests and scan reports to the doctor.
• Depending on your symptoms, the doctor may check liver function tests, CBC, kidney function, hepatitis tests, pancreatic enzyme levels (amylase/lipase), ultrasound/CT/MRI abdomen, and other tests such as endoscopy if required. The exact tests depend on the suspected condition.
• Do not stop prescribed medicines suddenly or start herbal/ayurvedic medicines without discussing them with your doctor, as some medicines and supplements can affect the liver.

Remedies & Precautions

• Avoid alcohol completely if you have a liver problem.
• Avoid unnecessary painkillers and self-medication.
• Eat a balanced diet and avoid very oily/fatty foods if they worsen your symptoms.
• Maintain a healthy weight and control diabetes, BP and cholesterol if applicable.
• Drink adequate fluids unless your doctor has advised fluid restriction.
• Keep all previous reports together so the new doctor can compare your condition over time.

Treatment

Treatment depends on the actual cause. Liver disease may require specific medicines, while digestive or pancreatic problems may need medicines, dietary changes, endoscopy or other procedures depending on the diagnosis.

Get Urgent Medical Help If

You develop yellow eyes/skin, severe or increasing abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, vomiting blood, black stools, severe abdominal swelling, difficulty breathing, or sudden confusion/unusual sleepiness. These can indicate a serious complication and should not be managed at home.

Please don't lose hope because the earlier treatment did not give enough relief. A fresh gastroenterology/liver evaluation with all your previous records can help identify why the problem is continuing and what treatment is needed next.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
