Digestive symptom assessment in Santiago

If you have abdominal pain, reflux, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation or other digestive changes that keep coming back or do not improve, a medical assessment is advisable. Dr. Rebeca De León looks for the cause of the symptom rather than only easing it, and explains the plan in plain words.

Symptoms we assess

Abdominal pain or discomfort, reflux and heartburn, bloating or gas, diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, changes in appetite or weight, and any lasting change in bowel habits.

Signs that should not wait

Blood in the stool or vomit, black stools, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, vomiting that will not stop, and severe abdominal pain or pain with fever. In an emergency, go to the hospital.

How is it assessed?

With a detailed medical history and a physical exam. When needed, the doctor requests blood or stool tests, imaging or an endoscopy. Every symptom has a cause, and the work is to find it.
