Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: When should I consider a screening colonoscopy?
A: Screening is generally recommended for average-risk individuals starting at age 45. However, if you have a family history of colorectal cancer or experience persistent symptoms, earlier screening is advised.
Q: Can liver fat (steatosis) be reversed?
A: Yes, through a combination of tailored metabolic management, dietary modifications, and consistent monitoring using non-invasive elastography, we successfully help many patients reverse early stages of fatty liver disease.
Q: What is the difference between IBS and IBD?
