- Colonic Transit Study: A colonic transit study is a medical test used to evaluate the movement of fecal matter through the colon. It is also known as a colon transit time study or colonic transit scintigraphy.
- Ballon expulsion test: The balloon expulsion test is a medical test used to evaluate the function of the rectum and anus in expelling fecal matter. It is typically used in the diagnosis of defecation disorders, such as constipation or fecal incontinence.
- High-resolution oesophageal manometry: High-resolution oesophageal manometry (HRM) is a medical test used to evaluate the function of the muscles and valves in the esophagus. It is typically used in the diagnosis of esophageal disorders, such as achalasia, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and motility disorders.
- High-resolution anorectal manometry: High-resolution anorectal manometry (HRAM) is a medical test used to evaluate the function of the anal sphincter and rectum. It is a more advanced and detailed version of conventional anorectal manometry.
- Biofeedback therapy for constipation and pelvic floor disorders: Biofeedback therapy is a non-invasive treatment for constipation and pelvic floor disorders that involves using electronic sensors to monitor and provide visual or auditory feedback on muscle activity. This therapy aims to help patients learn to control and strengthen their pelvic floor muscles, which can improve bowel function and reduce symptoms of incontinence or difficulty with defecation.
- H pylori Breath test: H Pylori Breath Test is also called as "urea breath test". The H. pylori breath test is a medical test used to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria in the stomach, which can cause a range of gastrointestinal conditions including ulcers and stomach cancer.
- Hydrogen breath test: The hydrogen breath test is a medical test used to diagnose various digestive disorders such as lactose intolerance, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and carbohydrate malabsorption. The test measures the amount of hydrogen in a patient's breath before and after consuming a specific type of sugar or carbohydrate solution.
- 24-hour pH study: A 24-hour pH study, also known as an esophageal pH test, is a medical test used to measure the amount and duration of acid reflux in the esophagus. Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain.
