Gastroenterology

The study of the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver is known as gastroenterology. This covers prevalent and serious conditions such colon polyps, cancer, hepatitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn), stomach ulcers, colitis, gallbladder disease, malnutrition, irritable bowel syndrome, and pancreatitis. It involves a detailed analysis of the normal function (physiology) of the gastrointestinal organs, including material flow through the stomach and digestive system, nutrient absorption and retention in the body, waste disposal from the body, and the liver's role as a digestive organ.
