Gastroenterology

What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is the medical specialty that deals with the digestive system and related organs. It focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Common problems treated under gastroenterology include:

• Acidity and acid reflux
• Gas, bloating, and indigestion
• Constipation and diarrhea
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Fatty liver and hepatitis
• Jaundice and liver infections
• Gallstones and pancreatitis
• Ulcers and stomach pain
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
• Gastrointestinal cancers

Gastroenterologists use tests like endoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound, and liver scans to detect and manage these conditions effectively.

Causes of Liver Problems

Liver conditions can develop due to various reasons. Some of the most common causes include:

• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Hepatitis infections (A, B, C)
• Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
• Obesity and metabolic syndrome
• Genetic disorders like hemochromatosis or Wilson’s disease
• Certain medications or toxins
• Autoimmune liver diseases

Identifying the exact cause is crucial for choosing the most effective treatment path.
