Gastroenterology Surgery Q & A
Gastroenterology is the medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
No, many gastrointestinal issues can be managed with non-surgical treatments such as medications, lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and endoscopic procedures. Surgery is typically reserved for cases where conservative measures fail to provide relief or when surgical intervention is deemed necessary.
Gastroenterologists perform a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including endoscopy, colonoscopy, liver biopsy, polypectomy, and hemorrhoid treatment, among others.
If you’re experiencing persistent symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, difficulty swallowing, or rectal bleeding, it’s essential to consult with a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation and management of your condition.
