GASTROENTEROLOGY
Gastroenterology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders affecting the digestive system. Gastroenterologists are specialized medical doctors who are trained to address a wide range of conditions involving the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. They diagnose and treat gastrointestinal disorders such as acid reflux (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), liver diseases (including hepatitis and cirrhosis), and gastrointestinal cancers. Gastroenterologists use advanced diagnostic techniques such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, and imaging studies to evaluate and provide personalized treatment plans for their patients. They play a crucial role in promoting digestive health, managing chronic conditions, and improving quality of life through comprehensive care and patient education.
