Understanding Gastroenterology: Your Guide to Digestive Health

What Is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and managing conditions affecting the digestive system. This includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.
