Gastroenterology in Warsaw and Płock

Gastroenterology is a branch of medicine that deals with the digestive system and associated diseases, including disorders of the following organs: esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, bile ducts, and pancreas.

When to visit a gastroenterologist?

A visit to a gastroenterologist is necessary if you notice:

persistent heartburn
digestive disorders
chronic abdominal pain
diarrhoea, constipation, bloating
nausea and vomiting
blood or mucus in stool
loss of appetite
swallowing problems
unexplained weight loss

What to expect during a visit to a gastroenterologist?

At the beginning of the appointment, the gastroenterologist conducts a thorough interview with the patient, inquiring about symptoms experienced, bowel habits, medications taken to date, lifestyle, and diet. If symptoms involve abdominal areas, the doctor may perform an abdominal palpation, pressing on specific areas of the patient's abdomen to pinpoint pain locations. If the interview and abdominal examination are insufficient, the gastroenterologist may order further diagnostic tests such as ultrasound, gastroscopy, or colonoscopy. The doctor may also suggest dietary changes or medications to improve bowel function.
