Question

select the correct answer.
which specialist should a person with abdominal pain visit?
a. endocrinologist
b. gastroenterologist
c. hepatologist
d. proctologist
e. surgeon

Explanation:

A gastroenterologist specializes in the digestive system, which includes the abdomen. Abdominal pain is often related to digestive - tract issues. An endocrinologist deals with hormones, a hepatologist focuses on the liver, a proctologist on the rectum and anus, and a surgeon is for surgical cases (not the first choice for general abdominal pain evaluation). So the correct specialist for abdominal pain is a gastroenterologist.

Answer:

B. gastroenterologist
