Gastroenterology
About services:
Gastroenterology is the medical specialty focused on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. This field addresses common digestive disorders such as gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and irritable bowel syndrome, as well as more complex conditions like ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, and liver disorders.
Main examinations:
Upper Endoscopy (EGD) – Uses a camera to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine to detect inflammation, ulcers, or tumors.
Colonoscopy – Examines the colon and rectum to diagnose polyps, inflammation, colorectal cancer, and other intestinal diseases.
Liver Function Test – A blood test that evaluates liver health by measuring enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin levels.
