Gastroenterology is the study of medicine focused on the digestive system. The digestive system, also referred to as the GI (gastrointestinal) tract, consists of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine. To which also include the accessory digestive organs such as the liver, pancreas and gallbladder.
A Gastroenterologist may help with symptoms such as:
- General or specific abdominal pain
- Heartburn or acid reflux
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Bloating
- Upset stomach
- Indigestion
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Abnormal liver blood analysis
- Esophageal pain
- Difficulty swallowing food
- Irregular bowel movements
- Rectal bleeding
A Colonoscopy is a procedure that allows a doctor to examine your large intestine and distal portion of small intestine using a long, flexible camera known as a colonoscope.
A Colonoscopy is considered essential in accurately determining the cause of colorectal pain, swelling, or hemorrhaging, as well as identifying colorectal cancer and its precursors.
General guidelines recommend every patient get a Colonoscopy screening at the age of 45, or 40 if you have family history of polyps or colorectal pathology.
For more information, please give us a call. Our staff will happily answer any questions to assist you and guide you through the process.
