What Is Gastroenterology?
Gastroenterology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the:
- Esophagus
- Stomach
- Small intestine
- Large intestine (colon)
- Liver
- Gallbladder
- Pancreas
These organs work together to help your body digest food, absorb nutrients, and remove waste. When any part of this system is affected, it can lead to discomfort, poor nutrition, and long-term health issues.
