Gastroenterology is the field of medicine that focuses on the digestive system, encompassing the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. It addresses a range of conditions, from acid reflux to liver disease. If you experience persistent digestive issues such as abdominal pain, bloating, difficulty swallowing, or changes in bowel habits, seeking help from a gastroenterologist is crucial. Additionally, individuals with a family history of gastrointestinal diseases or those over the age of 50 should consider regular screenings to maintain digestive health.
Hepatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on studying, diagnosing, and treating liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, and pancreas diseases. If you're experiencing symptoms like jaundice, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss, it's essential to seek help from a hepatologist or a specialist in liver diseases. Additionally, individuals with risk factors such as excessive alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis, or a family history of liver disease should consider consulting a hepatologist for preventive care and early detection.
