Life Line Diagnostic & Cardiac Hospital

Gastroenterology Care Center

The Gastroenterology service at Life Line Diagnostic & Cardiac Hospital focuses on disorders of the digestive tract, liver, and pancreas—combining outpatient assessment, endoscopic diagnosis, and coordinated care with surgery and radiology when advanced treatment is needed.

About the department

Our gastroenterology centre

Gastroenterology consultation and digestive health care

The Gastroenterology Care Center evaluates swallowing difficulty, reflux, peptic ulcer disease, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, liver enzyme abnormalities, and jaundice. We arrange upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy when visual diagnosis or biopsy is needed, interpret results with you, and build treatment plans that may include medication, lifestyle change, or referral for surgery or interventional radiology. Close links with the hospital’s laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy allow timely blood tests, abdominal imaging, and hepatitis screening. Our focus is clear explanation of symptoms, safe bowel preparation before procedures, and follow-up until your digestive health is stable.

Frequently asked questions

Call the hospital number above or visit reception with your referral letter. Staff will offer the next clinic slot with Dr. Md. Nahiyan Faruk Chowdhury and, if endoscopy is planned, send you written instructions for fasting and bowel preparation.
A clear liquid diet and prescribed laxative solution are usually required the day before so the colon is clean for safe inspection. Blood thinners and diabetes medicines may need adjustment—follow the personalised sheet from our team and ask if you are unsure.
Many patients receive throat spray with or without short-acting sedation to reduce discomfort. You will be monitored throughout and must not drive or operate machinery until the sedative has fully worn off—bring someone to take you home if sedation is used.
Vomiting blood or black tarry stools, severe sudden abdominal pain with rigid tummy, high fever with jaundice, or inability to pass stool and gas with distension need emergency assessment. Mild indigestion can usually wait for a routine clinic appointment.
