Gastroenterology Dr Nishant Nagpal

Gastroenterology is the study of the normal function and diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver. Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the digestive system and its disorders. Diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, which include the organs from the mouth into the anus, along the alimentary canal, are the focus of this specialty. Physicians practicing in this field are called gastroenterologists. A doctor might refer someone to a gastroenterologist if they have symptoms that suggest a problem with the digestive system. Gastroenterologists can diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of gut-related conditions. They also carry out certain medical procedures, such as endoscopies and colonoscopies.
