The medical speciality of gastroenterology is concerned with the digestive system, which includes the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, intestines, and stomach. Acid reflux, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hepatitis, and colorectal cancer are among the ailments that gastroenterologists diagnose and treat. Because it influences waste removal and nutrient absorption, digestive health is essential for general wellbeing.
Endoscopy, colonoscopy, and imaging tests like CT and ultrasound are common diagnostic procedures. For severe conditions, treatment options include surgery and minimally invasive procedures, as well as medication and dietary modifications.
Patient care has been improved by developments in gastroenterology, such as better screening methods and non-invasive therapies. Long-term gastrointestinal health is promoted and digestive disorders are prevented by eating a balanced diet, exercising, and getting regular checkups.
