Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is a colonoscopy a painful procedure?
A: Not at all. Colonoscopies are performed under sedation, ensuring the patient remains completely comfortable and pain-free throughout the process.

Q: When should I seek an evaluation for liver disease?
A: You should consult a specialist if you have persistent liver enzyme elevation, a family history of liver disease, or symptoms such as jaundice, unexplained fatigue, or abdominal swelling.

Q: How soon can I resume daily activities after an endoscopy?
A: Recovery is rapid. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few hours once the effects of the sedative have worn off.

Q: How does the FibroScan differ from a traditional liver biopsy?
A: A FibroScan is a completely non-invasive, painless test that uses ultrasound waves to measure liver stiffness, effectively replacing the need for a biopsy in most clinical cases.
