Gastroenterology

Health is closely related to functioning of the human digestive tract. A healthy intestinal microbiota (the totality of microorganisms normally found in the human intestinal tract) affects the well-being, health and looks. There is a link between the state of the gastrointestinal tract and the brain (GBA), muscle (GMA) and skin (GSA) functions.

As the person ages, the risk of developing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, including cancer, increases. To achieve the goal of Anti-Ageing medicine – a long and healthy life, gastroenterologists emphasise the importance of preventing various diseases (chronic inflammatory diseases, stomach cancer, colon cancer, healthy intestinal microbiota). It means timely consultations, examinations, and preventive and treatment measures.
