Gastrointestinal diseases like IBS, IBD, liver disease, and functional GI disorders are prevalent in the practice of internal medicine. Internists apply diagnostic means, such as endoscopy, imaging, and laboratory examination, to determine disease severity effectively.
Treatment regimens integrate pharmacotherapy, diet, and lifestyle interventions specifically designed for every patient. Careful attention to the gut microbiome and dietary adjustments further promotes therapeutic effectiveness.
Internists also educate patients about symptom management, medication compliance, and prevention. With a combination of clinical knowledge and whole-person care, internal medicine provides the best digestive health and overall wellness.
