Answers to Some of Your Top Questions About Gastroenterology at BMC South

You may have questions or concerns about your health. This list of common questions can help guide you. The answers give general information, but everyone’s situation is different. For advice about your own health, make an appointment with your provider.

What’s the difference between an endoscopy and a colonoscopy?

Both tests help your doctor look inside your digestive system. An endoscopy looks at your esophagus and stomach, while a colonoscopy looks at your colon and rectum. Your care team will recommend the right test based on your personal needs.

When should you get a colonoscopy?

Most people should start screening at age 45. You may need one sooner if you have a family history of colon cancer or certain symptoms. Your provider can help you decide what’s right for you.

When is it time for you to see a gastroenterologist?

If you’re dealing with ongoing digestive issues—like stomach pain, heartburn, or changes in bowel habits—it may be time to see a specialist. A gastroenterologist can help find the cause and guide your care.

Do you need a referral to see a gastroenterologist?

It depends on your insurance. Some plans require a referral, while others don’t. If you’re not sure, your care team can help you figure out the next step.

Should you see your primary care provider or a gastroenterologist first?

Starting with your primary care provider is often a good first step. They can evaluate your symptoms and connect you with a specialist if needed.
