What is Gastroenterology and Why is It Important?
Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that studies and treats disorders of the digestive system.
GI (gastrointestinal) doctors are skilled at diagnosing and treating diseases that affect the digestive tract. The major functions of your GI tract are digestion and excretion. The upper GI tract is composed of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, and stomach. The lower GI tract includes your intestines (small and large) and anus.
