The Gastroenterology Clinic deals with the pathology of the digestive system, i.e. the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, intestines, pancreas, liver and bile ducts.

Diseases treated:

• gastroesophageal reflux disease,
• gastric or duodenal ulcer disease,
• inflammatory bowel diseases including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis,
• irritable bowel syndrome,
• cholelithiasis,
• inflammation of the pancreas,
• a number of cancers, including one of the most common cancers in the world, colorectal cancer.

Improper nutrition, long-term stress, non-compliance with the hygiene of everyday life and genetic predisposition can lead to the occurrence of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, which significantly limit the daily activity of a person.

Lack of proper pro-health prophylaxis and failure to start treatment early enough may result in advanced, often irreversible changes in individual organs of the digestive system.

The most common indications for a visit to a gastroenterologist are:

• frequent heartburn,
• nausea,
• vomiting,
• constipation or diarrhea,
• stomach pain,
• yellowing of the whites and skin,
• the presence of blood in the stool,
• rapid weight loss.

A healthy and varied diet, regular meals, as well as the ability to cope with stress are the basic rules, the observance of which will help to avoid gastrological problems.

For your first visit to the gastroenterologist, you should bring:

• previous medical records,
• list of medications taken.
