La colonoscopia es el método de referencia para la detección del cáncer de colon. También es muy eficaz para evaluar síntomas gastrointestinales comunes, como sangrado rectal, dolor abdominal, estreñimiento, diarrea y cambios inexplicables en los hábitos intestinales.
La endoscopia superior es un procedimiento utilizado para examinar el tracto digestivo superior. Permite a los médicos visualizar directamente el esófago, el estómago y la parte superior del intestino delgado (duodeno) para diagnosticar con precisión las afecciones que causan síntomas como acidez, dificultad para tragar, dolor abdominal, náuseas o sangrado de origen desconocido.
Las hemorroides son venas inflamadas situadas en el ano y sus alrededores. Nuestros especialistas ofrecen la ligadura con banda elástica, un procedimiento seguro y mínimamente invasivo. Durante este tratamiento indoloro, se ata la base de la hemorroide con una pequeña banda elástica, interrumpiendo así el flujo sanguíneo. Esto hace que la hemorroide se reduzca y se desprenda de forma natural, proporcionando un alivio eficaz de los síntomas.

Colonoscopía
¿Qué es una endoscopia?
Una endoscopia superior, también llamada esofagogastroduodenoscopia o EGD, es un procedimiento que nos permite ver el revestimiento mucoso del tracto intestinal superior, que incluye el esófago, el estómago y el duodeno.
¿Por qué se necesitaría una endoscopia?
El Dr. Aviles y el Dr. Tenembaum utilizan la endoscopia superior para evaluar síntomas de dolor abdominal, reflujo ácido, acidez estomacal, dolor abdominal, dolor en el pecho, dificultad para tragar, náuseas, vómitos y sangrado, así como las causas de la anemia. Una EGD puede detectar inflamaciones, infecciones, tumores, úlceras y anomalías anatómicas como hernias y obstrucciones.
