Gastroenterology

How is a gastroenterologist consultation?

First of all, the doctor will collect anamnesis: conduct a survey and examination. If necessary, the gastroenterologist can perform an ultrasound of the abdominal organs (provided that the patient came on an empty stomach or ate the last time 3-4 hours before the examination).
Provided that the patient is on an empty stomach in the clinic, the necessary tests can be taken immediately.
Already during the first consultation, the gastroenterologist will provide nutritional recommendations.

Abdominal pain. What to do?

Abdominal pain can indicate various diseases, from minor disorders to serious pathologies.
If the pain is intense, sudden, or accompanied by symptoms such as high fever, vomiting, bloody stools, or loss of consciousness, you should immediately call emergency medical help, as this may be a sign of an “acute abdomen” - a condition that requires urgent surgical intervention.
In the case of moderate or prolonged abdominal pain, it is recommended to consult a gastroenterologist to determine the cause and prescribe appropriate treatment.
Remember that self-medication can be harmful to your health, lead to complications, and worsen your condition, so it is important to entrust your health to specialists.
