Our differential service

Do you usually suffer from abdominal pain/discomfort? Bloating, flatulence? Do you feel nausea or heartburn? Do you have a feeling of reflux? Do you notice any alterations in your bowel rhythm? Or any other symptoms in the digestive area

CreuBlanca’s specialists in gastroenterology will carry out a clinical history, a physical examination and all the necessary medical tests to identify the origin of your discomfort and establish a diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Our gastroenterologists examine and treat a wide variety of pathologies of the digestive system: stomach, esophagus, small and large intestine, rectum, anus, liver, gallbladder and bile ducts.

In addition, gastroenterology plays a fundamental role in the prevention and early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) both in patients with a family history and in the general population by performing periodic colonoscopies following established protocols.
