About Dr. Kavitha Sampathkumar

Dr. Kavitha Sampathkumar is a consultant medical gastroenterologist at Dr. Humayun Speciality Hospital, T. Nagar, with an MD in General Medicine and a DM in Medical Gastroenterology.

Acidity, bloating and a changed bowel habit are so common that the serious causes hide among them. Her practice is to answer the question directly with endoscopy and imaging rather than treating symptoms indefinitely, so that most patients leave with a diagnosis instead of another prescription. Liver disease in particular is followed over time rather than seen once and discharged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an endoscopy painful?

It is uncomfortable rather than painful, and it is done with throat spray or light sedation. Most people find it easier than they expected, and it takes about ten minutes.

Is fatty liver serious?

It can become so. In its early stage it is reversible with weight, diet and control of diabetes. Left for years it can progress to scarring, which is not.

Do I need a colonoscopy for constipation?

Usually not. It becomes important if there is bleeding, weight loss, anaemia, a persistent change in bowel habit, or you are over 45.
