Gastroenterology — Which Doctor Should I See?

Gastroenterology is the medical specialty focusing on the digestive system. Gastroenterologists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas.

Common symptoms include chronic heartburn, abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, constipation, bloating, difficulty swallowing, and unexplained weight loss.

Common procedures include endoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound, CT scans, and breath tests to diagnose conditions like ulcers, polyps, and digestive disorders.
