Gastroenterology in Lagos
The oesophagus, thyroid, small intestine, colon, and rectum, as well as the pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver, are all studied in gastroenterology. It entails a thorough comprehension of the gastrointestinal organs’ natural function (physiology), which includes material movement through the stomach and intestine (motility), digestion and absorption of nutrients into the body, waste elimination from the system, and the liver’s role as a digestive organ. Colon polyps and tumours, hepatitis, gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn), peptic ulcer disease, colitis, gallbladder and biliary tract disease, and nutrient deficiencies are also included.
