Gastroenterologist

Gastroenterology deals with the study, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal tract includes the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, and intestines. The main task of the digestive system is to process the food consumed into substances necessary for the vital activity of the body. In addition, the gastrointestinal tract plays the most important role in the immune system.

Food comes from the outside, so there are always bacteria in the organs of the digestive system. Provided the digestive organs are functioning properly, the body is protected from the penetration of disease-causing organisms. If the gastrointestinal tract fails, vulnerability increases. A gastroenterologist will help identify and eliminate the causes of diseases in this area.
