What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is a medical specialty focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and disorders related to the digestive system. This includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. Gastroenterologists are experts in managing conditions such as acid reflux, ulcers, IBS, Crohn’s disease, liver disease, and more. Their expertise encompasses everything from routine procedures like colonoscopies to complex treatments for chronic conditions.
