Cryotherapy
Medical Weight Loss
IBD includes both Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis. IBD is more frequent in women than in men with a ratio of about 2:1. Women may have a milder course of Crohn’s, especially if they have given birth to several children. Hormones during pregnancy could improve or worsen the disease; this is not similar for all subsequent pregnancies in the same patient. Symptoms may include diarrhea, blood in the stool, weight loss, and anemia. Diagnosis is generally made after colonoscopy and review of biopsy specimens by pathology. Treatment can vary but often requires long-term medications, many of which are safe in pregnancy.
Nutritional Counseling
Primary Care
A: We do not see patients under the age of 17. Please have your primary care physician contact us if there are any specific questions.
Colonoscopy
Dr. Shailaja Behara, a board-certified gastroenterologist, uses a patient-centered approach to diagnose and manage gastrointestinal symptoms and conditions. She provides Outpatient and Inpatient consultations. In addition to consultations in digestive diseases she provides colonoscopy screenings.
Constipation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Some diseases that are diagnosed and treated by gastroenterologist include, acid reflux, cirrhosis, colon polyps, crohn’s disease, diverticulosis, gallstones, hepatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, pancreatic disease, peptic ulcer disease, ulcerative colitis.
Diarrhea

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
The muscle coordinating moving one's bowels can be damaged by a tear during childbirth, leading to possible long-term problems. Therefore, it is important for pregnant women to perform the Kegel exercises, which help to strengthen this area, and to discuss any concerns with their obstetrician.

Internal Medicine
Dr. Shailaja S. Behara M.D. graduated from medical school in India. She finished her residency in Internal Medicine in Evanston, Illinois, and fellowship in Gastroenterology at the Cook County Hospital, Chicago, IL. Dr. Behara entered private practice in 2001.
Gastroenterology
To help you navigate your way through your digestive care, Dr Shailaja Behara created this list of most frequently asked questions of our patients. We strive to ensure all our patients are comfortable, happy, and have a pleasant healthcare experience. This list provides questions and enquires about our patient services, treatment and results, medical records, billing and insurance policies as well as questions about gastroenterology, procedures, and common GI conditions etc.
Bladder Cancer
Dr. Shailaja Behara has expertise in diagnosing and providing treatment options for many types of GI cancers including bile duct cancer, colon cancer, esophageal cancer, gallbladder cancer, pancreatic cancer. She works closely with advanced therapeutic endoscopists, cancer surgeons, oncologists, interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists and other cancer experts in providing collaborative care and developing personalized treatment plan for patients with GI cancer.
Colon Cancer
Outside of patient care, Dr. Behara enjoys educating the public on colon cancer and digestive disorders through speaking engagements at various healthcare seminars.
Endoscopy
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as heartburn, can have serious repercussions if it is chronic and untreated. GERD can lead to a host of medical issues including difficult swallowing. Barrett’s esophagus (sometimes a pre-cancerous condition) ulcers and esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer death in the U.S patients with chronic reflux or other risk factors may need screening for Barrett’s esophagus with an upper endoscopy by a gastroenterologist for a full evaluation and treatment to rule out a more serious underlying condition.
Prostate Cancer
Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of non-skin cancer in both men (after prostate cancer and lung cancer) and women (After breast and lung cancer). It is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States after lung cancer. In 2016, an estimated 134,490 people in the United States will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 49,190 people will die from it.
Lung Cancer
Colon cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer in women behind breast and lung cancer. Women get mammograms and pelvic exams regularly but often ignore the importance of colon screening and putting them at risk to develop colon cancer. Embarrassment or fear often plays a part in preventing women from having a screening colonoscopy.

Ultrasound
Normally, women have slower gallbladder emptying than men and are twice as likely to develop gallstones as men. This effect is exaggerated during pregnancy due to unique female hormones, and may be one reason why many women develop gallstones after having a baby. Symptoms of gallbladder disease may include right upper abdominal pain after eating, nausea or vomiting. Gallbladder disease can often be diagnosed by your doctor based upon history and ultrasound results.
MRI
Imaging such as MRI and CT scans take at least 3-5 business days to get approved. If you do not provide us with enough time to get your prior authorization, you may be asked to reschedule your imaging.
Radiology
We work together with the patient's primary care physicians and specialists to provide cost-effective treatment tailored to meet each patient's individual needs. We communicate with our patient's physicians to keep up-to-date on the treatment plan and the patient's progress. We analyze all data including labs, radiology, endoscopy and pathology reports to ensure a well-coordinated plan of care.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
A: Please bring your completed new patient packet to your first appointment. You may also submit the questionnaire via patient portal in advance (preferred way). This new patient packet is very important since it would contain information of your complete Medical and Surgical history, current medications you are taking, family history, allergies, and a list of all other doctors currently caring for you. Additionally, please bring your driver’s license or a valid ID and your current insurance cards (both primary and secondary), referral letter (if required), reports, X-rays, MRI’s, CT scans etc., and any other relevant information. It is very important to have an accurate list of medications you are currently taking. It is often easiest for patients to bring them to their appointment in a bag, so we can ensure that we have them all documented in our records. We also encourage you to come to your visit with a written list of questions to ensure you do not forget to ask them when you are seeing the doctor.

Skin Cancer
Cyst
Ulcer
Functional dyspepsia is a condition where there are stomach symptoms like burning sensation or discomfort in the upper abdomen or lower chest, abdominal bloating, excessive belching, feeling of fullness when eating, and nausea, without relation to any identifiable stomach disease. In other words there may be no underlying cause like gastritis or peptic ulcers, hence the term non-ulcer dyspepsia. The term dyspepsia is also used interchangeably with indigestion. This is a common condition, and it is estimated that 1 out of 4 adults will experience functional dyspepsia at least once a year.
Lesions
Some liver diseases, such as autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cirrhosis, affect women far more often than men. Other diseases, such as alcohol-related disease, progress more rapidly in women than in men, and women more commonly present with acute liver failure. Toxin-mediated hepatotoxicity such as alcohol- and drug-induced liver disease, have an increased prevalence of acute liver failure. Benign liver lesions that predominantly occur in women include cavernous hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), hepatic adenoma, biliary cystadenoma, and solitary hepatic cysts.
