Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the health of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Gastroenterologists diagnose and treat conditions such as acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcers, liver disease, gallstones, and inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. Digestive issues can often impact daily life, causing discomfort, bloating, or irregular bowel movements.

With advanced diagnostic tools like endoscopy, colonoscopy, and imaging tests, gastroenterologists can accurately detect the root cause of symptoms and offer effective treatments. Lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, minimally invasive procedures can help patients manage and overcome digestive disorders. Early intervention and regular screenings play a key role in maintaining long-term gastrointestinal health and preventing serious complications.
