The digestive system specialty encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
Among the most common conditions treated by this specialty are gastritis, peptic ulcers, gallstones, hepatitis, and pancreatitis. It also covers colitis or irritable bowel syndrome, as well as stomach and colorectal cancer.
The consultation begins with a complete clinical assessment: symptoms, medical history, and habits. From there, the specialist decides if further tests are necessary, such as abdominal ultrasound or food intolerance testing, and proposes a treatment and follow-up plan.
When the case requires it, we coordinate care with other specialties in the hospital so that the patient has a comprehensive response in the same center.
A painless, radiation-free imaging test that allows for the evaluation of abdominal organs. It does not require hospitalization, and the results are discussed during the same visit or at the next appointment.
