Stomach and Digestive Disorders

Dr. Jawad Khan manages a broad range of stomach and intestinal problems. Patients experiencing recurrent acidity, heartburn, abdominal discomfort, unexplained changes in bowel habits, persistent diarrhea or constipation, nausea, vomiting, or bloating may require assessment by a gastroenterologist when symptoms are persistent or recurrent.

GERD is one of the common gastrointestinal problems encountered in clinical practice. It occurs when stomach contents repeatedly flow back into the esophagus, producing symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, sour taste, and discomfort behind the breastbone.

Other digestive conditions may require additional investigations to identify their underlying cause rather than repeated symptomatic treatment.

Liver and Hepatitis Care

Dr. Jawad Khan’s field also encompasses liver and hepatobiliary diseases, including hepatitis, fatty liver disease and jaundice. A current KP government staffing record identifies his specialty as Gastroenterology/Hepatology.

Liver conditions can have many causes, including viral hepatitis, metabolic disease, medicines, and other medical problems. Appropriate evaluation may involve blood tests, imaging studies, and additional investigations depending on the patient’s symptoms and history.

Endoscopy and Colonoscopy

Dr. Jawad Khan performs gastrointestinal procedures including upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy.

An upper GI endoscopy allows the doctor to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. It may be recommended for conditions such as persistent upper abdominal symptoms, swallowing difficulties, suspected ulcers, or gastrointestinal bleeding.

A colonoscopy examines the large intestine and may be performed to investigate rectal bleeding, persistent changes in bowel habits, chronic diarrhea, unexplained anemia, or other suspected colorectal conditions.

Whether a patient needs an endoscopy or colonoscopy depends on their symptoms, age, risk factors, and clinical assessment.
