Gastrointestinal Disorders
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders encompass a broad range of conditions affecting the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. A Consultant Physician in Internal Medicine is equipped to diagnose and manage both acute and chronic GI conditions such as acid reflux (GERD), peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), constipation, diarrhea, fatty liver, jaundice, and hepatitis.
Through detailed clinical assessment, diagnostic tests (like endoscopy, ultrasound, and blood work), and evidence-based treatments, these physicians help restore proper digestive function and alleviate symptoms. Nutritional counseling and lifestyle modifications are also an integral part of care, aiming for long-term digestive wellness.
