Gastroenterology
Gastroenterology is a medical specialty dedicated to keeping your digestive system healthy. Imagine it as a branch of medicine that focuses solely on your gut, which includes everything from your mouth all the way down to your anus.
Gastroenterologists are like detectives for your digestive system. They diagnose and treat a wide range of gut problems, such as:
➜ Upset stomach, heartburn, and indigestion
➜ Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
➜ Ulcers
➜ Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel diseases)
➜ Liver and gallbladder issues
Gastroenterologists use a variety of tools to diagnose and treat digestive problems.
