It plays a vital role in nutrient absorption, waste elimination, and overall metabolic health.

Conditions Treated by Gastroenterologists

A gastroenterologist (often called a GI doctor) is trained to manage a wide variety of digestive and liver conditions, including:

• Acid Reflux (GERD): Chronic heartburn, regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing.
• Liver Diseases: Fatty liver, Hepatitis (A, B, C), Cirrhosis, and jaundice.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Chronic abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel habits.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Autoimmune conditions like Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
• Pancreatic & Biliary Disorders: Pancreatitis, gallstones, and bile duct obstructions.
• Peptic Ulcers: Sores in the lining of the stomach or small intestine caused by acid or H. pylori bacteria.
• GI Cancer: Screening and management of cancers affecting the colon, stomach, liver, or pancreas.

Preventive Healthcare and Screenings

Digestive health is closely linked to lifestyle and diet. Gastroenterology emphasizes preventive care through routine screenings like Colonoscopy (essential for colorectal cancer prevention after age 45), Hepatitis vaccinations, and dietary counseling to maintain a healthy gut microbiome and prevent fatty liver disease.

Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment

Gastroenterology relies on advanced endoscopic technology to diagnose conditions without major surgery. Key diagnostic tools include Upper GI Endoscopy (Gastroscopy), Colonoscopy, ERCP (for bile ducts), and FibroScan (for liver stiffness). Treatments range from medication and lifestyle changes to minimally invasive endoscopic procedures to remove polyps or stop internal bleeding.

Digestive emergencies require rapid intervention. Conditions such as GI bleeding (blood in vomit or stool), acute abdominal pain, appendicitis, or obstructed bile ducts are critical. Our gastroenterology team provides prompt care to stabilize the patient, identify the source of the issue, and prevent life-threatening complications.

Chronic Disease Management

Long-term conditions like Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and Chronic Liver Disease require lifelong, compassionate care.
