Gastroenterology
- Gastroenterology
Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders affecting the digestive system — including the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. This specialty covers a wide range of conditions, from common acidity and gastritis to complex liver diseases and gastrointestinal cancers.
The main goal of gastroenterology is to ensure healthy digestion, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of waste, which are essential for overall well-being. At Trinayani Medical Centre, we provide advanced diagnostic facilities and personalised treatments for all types of digestive issues.
- Who Are Gastroenterologists?
Gastroenterologists are medical doctors specialised in managing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver. They use advanced diagnostic techniques like endoscopy, colonoscopy, and ultrasound to identify problems early and provide targeted treatment.
Our gastroenterology team focuses on both symptom relief and long-term prevention, ensuring you receive comprehensive digestive health care.
