What does GHE mean in UNCLASSIFIED

GHE is a specialty that focuses on diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, and associated organs. This includes diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care for conditions like GERD, IBS, IBD, ulcers, gallstones, hepatitis pancreatitis etc.

GHE uses specific tools like endoscopes to examine the digestive tract for potential underlying issues with the digestive organs. Through these procedures doctors may be able to diagnose a range of ailments including cancer.

Common diagnostic procedures used in GHE include colonoscopies which allow visualization of the entire length of your large intestine; sigmoidoscopies which allow doctors to view only part of the large intestine; endoscopic ultrasonography which helps detect certain forms of cancer within abdominal organs; and biopsies which allow doctors to take a sample from tissue from inside the body for further testing or examination.

Common medical problems that can be treated with GHE include GERD or acid reflux disease; peptic ulcers; hemorrhoids; gallstones; colitis/Crohn's Disease/ulcerative colitis; Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS); upper GI bleeding such as bleeding in the esophagus or stomach ; jaundice caused by bile obstruction; celiac disease; chronic pancreatitis; liver fibrosis/cirrhosis ; polyps in the rectum/large intestine area ; anal fissures—painful tears in lining of anus or rectum ; hepatitis infections caused by viruses B & C ; Barrett's esophagus—precancerous cells development in lining of lower esophagus near stomach ; malabsorption disorders like lactose intolerance.

While all medical procedures carry some degree risk endoscopic procedures when performed by experienced professionals are considered generally safe. However any procedure involving sedation carries additional risks including respiratory depression so it's important to discuss this possibility with your doctor beforehand if you plan on having an endoscopic procedure requiring sedation.
