What is Gastroenterology?
Gastroenterology is a stream of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of gastrointestinal tract and other organs connected to it. They will be able to detect any abnormal functioning in the oesophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine, bile ducts, liver etc The doctors who treat these problems are called gastroenterologists. The gastroenterologists must have a detailed functioning of each of these organs and so they know how their normal action would be. If anything functions as they shouldn’t be, they will instantly be able to detect it. Of course, it depends on the skills and expertise of the gastroenterologists, and that’s why at Prime Hospital, we have the best gastroenterologist in Dubai treating you.
What is colorectal surgery?
Colorectal surgery is a specialized branch of surgery that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the colon, rectum, and anus, including colorectal cancer, hemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease, and other digestive disorders.
What is Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are small cushions of veins and soft tissue that sit where the rectum meets the anus, helping the muscles seal the canal and keep you comfortable. Problems arise when these cushions slip downward or swell, often after pregnancy, chronic constipation, heavy lifting, or frequent straining. When that happens, they can bleed, itch, or bulge, internal haemorrhoids stay inside the rectum, while external ones appear under the skin around the anus.
