Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology focuses on diseases involving the gastrointestinal tract, specifically the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum, and the adjacent organs of digestion, the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Symptoms of gastrointestinal issues include:

• Constipation

• Irritable bowel syndrome

• Hemorrhoids

• Anal fissures

• Perianal abscesses

• Anal fistulas

• Perianal infections

• Diverticular diseases

• Colitis

• Colon polyps

Many of these symptoms can be prevented or minimised by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, practicing good bowel habits, and submitting to cancer screening.
