Gastroenterology is a branch of medicine that specializes in digestive illnesses and diseases. Gastroenterologists are experts in diagnosing and treating diseases and ailments that affect the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas. The most common conditions they must treat include GERD, gastric and duodenal ulcers, malignant tumors, inflammatory bowel diseases, colorectal cancer, and rectal disorders. Gastroenterology treats illnesses of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver. If your primary care physician discovers a problem with your GI tract, they will most likely recommend you to a gastroenterologist for a more thorough evaluation. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract comprises the mouth, pharynx (throat), esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, gallbladder, pancreas, liver, rectum, and anus.

Depending on the symptoms, gastrointestinal diseases, also known as digestive diseases or stomach problems, can range from moderate to severe. A gastroenterologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating illnesses of the digestive system. Dyspepsia (indigestion), gastroesophageal reflux disease, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, and hiatal hernia are all common digestive problems. The study of normal digestive functioning and difficulties is known as gastrointestinal science. It is also known as gut health science. Looking after your digestive system is critical because it is directly tied to your overall health and well-being. Bleeding, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia (indigestion), flatulence (gas), heartburn, discomfort, nausea, and vomiting are all common signs of poor digestive health. A gastrointestinal disease affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which extends from the mouth to the anus. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, indigestion, colon cancer, and hemorrhoids are all examples of common GI problems.
