Who is a Gastroenterologist?

A gastroenterologist is a medical doctor who specialises in the detection and treatment of disorders related to the liver and gastrointestinal tract. Gastroenterologists do a  procedure called colonoscopies to look inside the colon. 

What is Meant by Gastroenterology/GI medicine?

Gastroenterology is a specific branch of medicine that mainly focuses on the digestive tract, liver bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas. A gastroenterologist treats a variety of conditions that affect the gastrointestinal system, including hepatitis C, irritable bowel syndrome, cancer, colon polyps, jaundice, acid reflux, haemorrhoids, colitis, biliary tract disease, and more.

When Should You Consult a Gastroenterologist?

Your primary care physician may recommend you to a gastroenterologist if you have:

Roles and Responsibilities of a Gastroenterologist

Some of the responsibilities of gastroenterologists include:

  • Consulting with patients to understand their health problems.
  • MRI, X-ray, and ultrasound scanning.
  • Performing advanced tests to diagnose patients.
  • Examining appropriate treatment courses.
  • Evaluating patient’s historical data.
  • Performing an endoscopic process to observe internal organs.

What Conditions Do Gastroenterologists Treat?

A gastroenterologist treats a variety of conditions that include:

  • Colon polyps 
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Liver related disorders and acidity
  • Sores in the small intestine and stomach lining
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Gallbladder conditions
  • Celiac disease
  • Inflammation of the large pancreas or intestine
  • Internal bleeding in the digestive system

Endoscopy is a medical process followed by gastroenterologists. They use a flexible and lightweight tube with a built-in camera to observe the intestines from the inside. Though gastroenterologists are not surgeons, they work closely with them when required.

Types of Processes Followed by a Gastroenterologist

A gastroenterologist performs a wide range of non-surgical processes. It may include:

  • Endoscopic ultrasound to determine the lower and upper GI tracts and other internal organs.
  • Colonoscopy is performed to detect colon polyps and colon cancer.
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to analyse the tumours and gallstones.
  • Sigmoidoscopy to check for loss of blood and pain in bowel movements.
