The medical center provides conditions for stay during diagnosis, research and treatment: patients are in rooms with a high level of comfort.
Endoscopic surgery is one of the key areas in the treatment of gastroenterological pathologies. If conservative therapy does not produce results, The patient is scheduled for surgery. The most common interventions: vagotomy, gastric resection, appendectomy, cholecystectomy, abdominal-anal resection, suturing of a perforated ulcer, gastric extirpation, resection of the sigmoid colon, resection of the small intestine. Most operations are performed using laparoscopic equipment through small incisions. An endoscope (a thin tube with a camera and a light at the end) allows effectively examine the surface of internal organs. Healing after such operations is much faster than after conventional ones.

Come see a specialist. In fact, what we often think of as stomach pain is often a symptom of other diseases: cardiac pain, myocardial infarction, pancreatitis with abdominal syndrome, ischemic colitis. Today, these diseases are common, including in young people. Absolutely, you should not self-medicate, because it may turn out that you are not treating what really hurts.
Only specialists should treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract!
Any pain is a symptom of anxiety (pathology). So it's still worth checking out. There are diseases that often do not manifest themselves symptomatically. For example, the accumulation of suspension in the gallbladder. With this disease, the symptoms come and occur in stressful situations, with the use of certain foods containing a large amount of fat.
For this reason, the disease is easily overlooked, and a year later, the patient is found to have gallstones, although this could have been avoided.
Stomach ulcer is also characterized by bouts of pain, so you should never ignore the symptoms.
These are pains similar to pain in gastritis, but without morphological confirmation. They are caused by spasms.
Functional dyspepsia is usually treated with antispasmodics and drugs that normalize the emotional state. In most cases, this disease is psychosomatic. For this reason, a gastroenterologist often works in tandem with a neuropsychiatrist.
Any gastritis diagnosed without morphological confirmation is considered unconfirmed. To prescribe treatment, it is necessary to determine the cause of gastritis.
Helicobacter-associated gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach, due to which the cells of the gastric mucosa are replaced by intestinal cells over time. This increases the risk of cancer. In rare cases, with proper long-term treatment, metaplasia (replacement) resolves and cells return to their normal state. Metaplasia does not disappear on its own.
It's not worth doing that. The fact is that even blood biochemistry can include various additional indicators. The initial appointment with a specialist allows you to avoid additional appointments and repeated, sometimes not the most pleasant procedures.
This diagnosis can only be confirmed by biopsy. But it can be suspected during gastroscopy. Modern technologies allow it to be carried out so thoroughly that the endoscopist immediately sees the affected cells.
Another formidable symptom - heartburn, is quite common in the population, and many do not pay attention to it. However, it may indicate the presence of reflux disease complicated by Barrett's esophagus. This is a precancerous disease with a subsequent transition to cancer, requiring long-term observation and drug therapy.
Sometimes, with this pathology, electroablation is performed. There should be strict indications for this procedure, which depend on the degree of development of the syndrome and the lack of effectiveness of conservative treatment.
