Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas and gallbladder. It is important because it helps diagnose, treat and prevent a variety of digestive disorders such as acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease and liver disease, ensuring optimal digestive health.
Some signs include chronic abdominal pain, bloating, frequent diarrhoea or constipation, unexplained weight loss, persistent heartburn, blood in stools or difficulty in swallowing. If you experience any of these symptoms regularly, it's important to consult a gastroenterologist.
During your consultation, your gastroenterologist will take a detailed medical history, discuss your symptoms and may perform a physical examination. Depending on the symptoms, diagnostic tests such as blood tests, imaging, or endoscopy may be recommended to provide an accurate diagnosis.
An endoscopy is a procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera to view the inside of your digestive system. It can help diagnose conditions such as ulcers, inflammation, infections or cancer in the oesophagus, stomach or intestines. It is often used to investigate symptoms like persistent nausea or unexplained pain.
Some gastrointestinal conditions, like colorectal cancer, celiac disease or Crohn's disease, may have a genetic component. If you have a family history of digestive issues, it is important to discuss this with your gastroenterologist to determine if you should undergo earlier or more frequent screenings.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder, meaning there is no visible damage to the digestive system but symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea and constipation occur due to abnormal gastrointestinal motility. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), on the other hand, refers to conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, where there is inflammation and damage to the digestive tract.
Managing GERD typically involves lifestyle modifications such as eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy or fatty foods and elevating your head while sleeping. Medications like proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers may also be prescribed to reduce stomach acid. In severe cases, surgery might be necessary.
To maintain good digestive health, eat a balanced diet rich in fiber, drink plenty of water, avoid smoking, exercise regularly and manage stress. Pay attention to food intolerances and try to avoid triggers that can cause digestive discomfort, such as certain dairy or gluten products.
While colonoscopies are generally safe, some risks include bleeding, infection and perforation of the colon. Tthe risks are very low, and the benefits—early detection of conditions like colorectal cancer or polyps—greatly outweigh these potential risks, especially if you are at an increased risk.
Hepatitis is diagnosed through blood tests that detect specific viruses or liver function markers. The treatment depends on the type of hepatitis. For viral hepatitis (like Hepatitis B or C) antiviral medications may be used to reduce inflammation and damage. In some cases, a liver transplant may be necessary if the liver is severely damaged.
