Clinics for the treatment of gastroenterological
Gastroenterology is a branch of medicine that studies the structure, functions, and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. A gastroenterologist treats diseases of these organs:
- Gastrointestinal tract: esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine;
- Hepato-biliary system: liver, bile ducts, gallbladder;
- Pancreas and its ducts;
- The rectum and the anus.
Diseases of the digestive tract are more common in adolescents aged 13-17 years. This is probably due to developmental characteristics and eating behavior. Each year, about 15% of the U.S. population goes to the doctor with gastrointestinal problems.
