The small intestine and large intestine play an essential role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and normal bowel function. Disorders affecting the intestines may cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, blood in stool, weight loss, anaemia, or changes in bowel habits. Some intestinal disorders are functional and do not damage the bowel, while others may cause inflammation, ulcers, narrowing, bleeding, or long-term complications. Persistent or recurrent symptoms should be evaluated to identify the underlying cause and begin appropriate treatment. Dr. Dipankar Das provides comprehensive evaluation and management of intestinal disorders using blood and stool tests, colonoscopy, biopsy, advanced imaging, and individualized medical treatment.

Its symptoms and endoscopic appearance may resemble Crohn’s Disease, infection, or intestinal cancer. Therefore, careful evaluation is essential before starting treatment.
