Gastroenterology
Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the digestive system. It deals with conditions like acidity, ulcers, liver disease, IBS, pancreatitis, and gastrointestinal infections.
Gastroenterologists specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders of the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Common issues include GERD, ulcers, hepatitis, IBS, and digestive infections.
