The digestive system is one of the most complex in the body and one of those that most frequently generates symptoms that interfere with daily life. Persistent heartburn, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, bloating or difficulty swallowing are signs that should not be ignored.
Many digestive diseases have a very effective treatment when detected early. However, symptoms are often non-specific and are attributed to stress or diet without reaching a clear diagnosis. A gastroenterologist can identify the cause and initiate the appropriate treatment.
Frequent heartburn or acid reflux, regurgitation, difficulty or pain when swallowing, feeling of early fullness, recurrent nausea or vomiting. These may indicate gastro-oesophageal reflux, gastritis, an ulcer or oesophageal pathology.
Persistent or recurrent abdominal pain, distension or bloating, excessive flatulence or intolerance to certain foods. These may be related to irritable bowel syndrome, coeliac disease or other functional or structural conditions.
Chronic constipation, persistent diarrhoea or alternation between the two. Especially important when accompanied by involuntary weight loss, blood in the stools or appearing in those over 50 years of age.
Blood in the stools — whether bright red or dark or black — always requires urgent medical evaluation. It can have very diverse causes, ranging from haemorrhoids to more serious pathology, and early diagnosis is essential.
Colonoscopy is the most effective test for the early detection of colorectal cancer, one of the most common types in Spain. It is recommended from the age of 50, or earlier if there is a family history. Detecting polyps in time can prevent the development of cancer.
Our gastroenterology department offers a comprehensive evaluation which may include:
Detailed medical history, physical examination and symptom analysis to guide the diagnosis accurately.
Exploration of the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum using a flexible camera. It allows the mucosa to be viewed, biopsies to be taken and lesions to be treated during the same procedure.
Exploration of the colon and rectum to detect polyps, inflammation, bleeding or tumours. It is the gold standard test in colorectal cancer prevention.
Blood tests, imaging tests, and other complementary tests as appropriate to complete the diagnosis.
Dr Ramón Rodríguez Olmo, Dr María Tejada Cabrera, Dr Alfredo Abraldes Bechiarelli and Dr José Antonio Carnerero Rodríguez.
We carried out the endoscopic and complementary tests without external referrals, with the results integrated into the patient's medical record.
Endoscopic procedures are carried out using all the resources of a leading private hospital, with available anaesthesia and a comprehensive safety protocol.
