Endoscopy is a medical procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera to examine the digestive tract. In gastroenterology, it helps diagnose symptoms like abdominal pain, GI bleeding, and swallowing difficulty, and is also used to remove polyps, take biopsies, and treat bleeding lesions.
ERCP, or Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, is a specialized procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder, liver, and pancreas, such as bile duct stones, pancreatitis, strictures, and tumors.
Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS) combines endoscopy with ultrasound to provide detailed images of the digestive tract and nearby organs like the pancreas and lymph nodes. Unlike standard endoscopy, EUS allows deeper evaluation beyond the digestive lining.
Medical gastroenterology focuses on diagnosing and treating digestive system disorders involving the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Consultation is advised for persistent abdominal pain, bowel habit changes, bleeding, swallowing difficulty, or unexplained weight loss.
A GI specialist, also called a gastroenterologist, is a doctor who diagnoses and treats conditions of the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and food pipe, using medical and advanced procedural care.
Common GI problems include acidity, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux (GERD), stomach ulcers, fatty liver disease, gallstones, and recurring digestive pain.
The best gastrology doctor can be found by choosing an experienced gastroenterologist at a reputed multispecialty hospital that offers advanced diagnostics and comprehensive digestive care, such as Continental Hospitals.
You should search for a gastro near you if you experience ongoing stomach pain, acidity, bloating, changes in bowel habits, or digestive symptoms that do not improve with basic treatment. Early consultation helps prevent complications.
