What Is Gastroenterology?
Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine concerned with diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the digestive system. This covers the oesophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.
At Narangba Station Health, we specialise in providing patients with common and complex GI complaints with the highest standard of evidence-based care.
Why Choose Our Gastroenterology Clinic in Narangba
Selecting a gastroenterology clinic is one of the key factors in ensuring that you receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for your digestive issues. At Narangba Station Health Centre, we are committed to delivering quality, patient-focused care that helps you achieve and maintain your long-term health.
Our Experienced Clinicians
Understand and treat a broad spectrum of gastrointestinal issues. Using advanced testing methods like endoscopy, colonoscopy, H. pylori testing and liver function tests, we can help you determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.
We take the time to understand your specific health concerns and work with you to create a tailored treatment plan that gives you the best chance at a full recovery. With quality service and care at the forefront of what we do, we ensure your comfort, provide answers and keep you informed every step of the way. We also provide lifestyle and nutritional advice, along with preventative care, to keep your digestive system healthy.
Conditions We Diagnose and Treat
Our gastroenterology specialists diagnose and manage a broad spectrum of digestive health conditions, including:
Common Digestive Disorders
The most frequent digestive conditions we treat include gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux), persistent heartburn and reflux symptoms, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or symptoms related to IBS like chronic abdominal pain and altered bowel habits.
We also routinely assess and treat digestive problems such as constipation and diarrhea linked to diet, stress, or gut problems, plus peptic ulcer disease and food intolerances.
Inflammatory & Autoimmune Conditions
When the immune system triggers inflammation that affects the digestive tract, various symptoms can occur. Conditions like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis can result in chronic inflammation to different areas of the digestive tract, leading to abdominal pain, fatigue and changes in bowel habits.
Celiac disease is another immune condition where the body has difficulty tolerating gluten. Left untreated, this can affect the small intestine and your body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
Liver, Pancreas & Biliary Disorders
In addition to the organs of the digestive tract, conditions can also affect your liver, pancreas and gallbladder. These organs support nutrient metabolism and digestion, so conditions like hepatitis or fatty liver disease, pancreatitis and gallstones or bile duct blockage can cause health concerns. Some of these conditions may cause abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue or digestive discomfort and will usually require monitoring or treatment.
Cancer Screening & Prevention
Preventative care is also important for maintaining your long-term digestive health. Screening for colorectal cancer allows doctors to check for any changes or abnormalities in your bowel before you experience symptoms. This can include removing polyps, which are small growths on the intestinal wall that could become cancerous over time. If you are at higher risk for colorectal cancer, your doctor can also recommend surveillance options.
Endoscopic procedures
Laboratory & imaging tests
Diagnostic Services
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. In some cases, a closer look inside the digestive tract is needed to understand what’s causing your symptoms.
Our clinic offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic tests, including:
Endoscopic Procedure
Endoscopic procedures use a small camera to examine the digestive tract and help diagnose a range of gastrointestinal conditions. If your symptoms require further investigation, we can arrange the appropriate endoscopic testing and guide you through the next steps of your care.
These can include:
- Gastroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to visualise the oesophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine.
- Colonoscopy: A vital screening tool for colorectal cancer and bowel disease, allowing direct examination of the colon and rectum.
- Flexible Sigmoidoscopy: A focused examination of the lower colon for quick assessment of symptoms.
Laboratory & Imaging Tests
At Narangba Station Health Centre, if needed, we can arrange or conduct the appropriate diagnostic tests to better understand your symptoms and guide the right treatment.
These include:
- Stool Analysis
- pylori Breath Test
- Liver Function Tests
- Ultrasound & Advanced Imaging Referrals
All diagnostic procedures are conducted with strict safety protocols and patient comfort in mind.
