Gastrointestinal and liver medicine deals with the complex range of conditions relating to our digestive systems and related organs. These conditions can be both painful and often sensitive in nature, and providing appropriate care requires compassion and discretion alongside exceptional clinical knowledge.

Common Conditions & Diseases of Gastroenterology & Hepatology
Gastroenterology and hepatology are specialised fields of medicine focusing on the digestive system and liver, respectively. Understanding the common conditions associated with these fields can help in recognising symptoms and seeking timely medical advice.
Gastrointestinal Conditions:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the oesophagus, causing irritation.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A common disorder affecting the large intestine, characterised by symptoms like cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhoea or constipation.
- Crohn's Disease: A type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to severe abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fatigue, and weight loss
Liver and Hepatology Conditions:
- Hepatitis: An inflammation of the liver, often caused by viral infections (hepatitis A, B, C) but also by alcohol consumption, toxins, and autoimmune diseases.
- Liver Cirrhosis: A late-stage liver disease marked by fibrosis or scarring of the liver tissue, commonly resulting from chronic alcoholism or hepatitis infections.
- Fatty Liver Disease: A condition where fat builds up in the liver, often associated with obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
