Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the digestive system and its disorders. This medical specialty deals with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver.

Gastroenterologists are physicians who specialize in this field and are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of GI conditions, from common issues like acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to more complex diseases such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, liver cirrhosis,

Treatment approaches in gastroenterology vary depending on the specific condition but may include medication, lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery. Gastroenterologists often work closely with other medical specialists, such as dieticians, hepatologists (liver specialists), and colorectal surgeons, to provide comprehensive care for patients with digestive disorders and pancreatic cancer.
