Digestive System

Gastroenterology & Hepatology is a specialised field of medicine that diagnoses, treats, and prevents disorders affecting the digestive system and liver.

The digestive system is a complex network of organs that work together to break down food, extract nutrients, and eliminate waste. The digestive system includes the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus.

At Pantai Hospital KL, our gastroenterologists and hepatologists at Endoscopy Centre employ advanced diagnostic techniques and therapeutic interventions to address a wide spectrum of conditions. This includes digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), liver diseases, and various gastrointestinal cancers.

Patients benefit from comprehensive care that spans from accurate diagnostics, through innovative medical management, to advanced procedures, ensuring optimal gastrointestinal and hepatic health. Seeking expertise in Gastroenterology & Hepatology offers a holistic approach to digestive health, emphasising personalised treatment plans for each patient's unique needs.

Common digestive disorders include acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and colon cancer. Symptoms of digestive problems can range from abdominal pain and bloating to changes in bowel habits and weight loss.
