Unfortunately, in Ukraine, the situation is very common, when a doctor is consulted only when severe symptoms appear. In fact, in many cases, even fairly minor changes in well-being can be a signal to contact a specialist as soon as possible. One of the fields where this is most evident is gastroenterology.
Often we do not attach much importance to symptoms such as nausea, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, bad breath or bitterness in the mouth. It seems that they are only temporary phenomena and do not have any consequences. Of course, in many cases they can be related to, for example, poor-quality food, but if the symptoms are systematically repeated, then it makes sense to undergo an examination by a gastroenterologist.
The reason why even mild symptoms need attention is simple. If any disease is detected in the early stages, the treatment will be faster, cheaper and more effective. This applies especially to disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.
If you do not notice any unusual symptoms, then a routine preventive examination once a year will be appropriate. If you notice unpleasant symptoms in yourself or your child, you can get all the necessary consultations, tests and ultrasound examinations at the Mother's House.
