What do Gastroenterology Physicians do?
Gastroenterologists, also known as gastroenterology physicians, diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and bile ducts.
They perform procedures like endoscopies and colonoscopies to visualize the GI tract and manage conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), GERD, and liver diseases.
What they do
Diagnose and Treat Conditions: Gastroenterologists identify and manage a wide range of digestive disorders, from everyday issues like constipation and indigestion to complex diseases.
Perform Procedures: They conduct diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures, such as:
- Endoscopy: Using a flexible tube with a camera to examine the upper GI tract.
