Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that deals with health problems related to the digestive system. The digestive system is a complex structure that starts from the mouth and ends with the anus, and gastroenterologists, who examine, diagnose and treat the health of the organs in this system, often struggle with digestive system diseases and other digestive problems. Gastroenterologists deal with serious problems such as diseases, inflammation, obstructions and cancer of organs such as the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. Gastroenterology undertakes the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For example, common digestive problems such as reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), liver diseases, biliary stones, and stomach ulcers are of interest to gastroenterologists. These specialists identify diseases and develop appropriate treatment plans using a variety of diagnostic methods, such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound and blood tests. Gastroenterology plays a critical role in maintaining digestive health and preventing and treating diseases. Developments in this field are constantly continuing to improve the quality of life of patients and find more effective solutions to problems related to the digestive system. By providing individual and effective health services to their patients with a multidisciplinary approach, gastroenterologists emphasize the importance of digestive system health and have a key role in finding solutions to health problems in this field.
