The gastroenterologist is aimed at the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive organs’ diseases. His main task is to recognize abnormalities in the functioning of the stomach, pancreas, duodenum, large and small intestines, liver, gallbladder, and biliary tract, and implement measures to restore their functioning.

A consultation of a gastroenterologist at the Healthy&Happy Medical Center consists of the following stages:

Diagnostics

For the purposes of accurate diagnosis in gastroenterology, in addition to the external examination, methods of instrumental and laboratory diagnostics are used additionally.

An obligatory screening method for instrumental diagnostics of the digestive system is the abdominal organs’ ultrasound test. Its results allow us to confirm the diagnosis or exclude diseases and also help treatment tactics choosing. For the more detailed test, if neoplasms were detected according to the results of the ultrasound, or there is a suspicion of erosion, ulcers, etc., endoscopic research methods are prescribed, namely gastroscopy and colonoscopy.

Preparation for ultrasound of the abdominal organs:

  • to avoid from eating for 6-8 hours before the test;
  • a couple of days before the test, get a special diet: exclude raw vegetables, milk, brown bread, legumes, high-calorie foods, carbonated drinks from the nutrition.

  • ultrasound is not performed just after gastroscopy and/or colonoscopy, as well as after X-ray examination of the gastrointestinal tract (CT, MRI).

Endoscopic diagnostic methods also require special preparation. Depending on the patient’s status, the doctor independently provides information on how to properly prepare for the examination.

Laboratory research
