Digestive diseases, which can include issues like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and gastroesophageal reflux, are common digestive ailments often of short duration. Liver diseases such as fatty liver, viral hepatitis, and cirrhosis are predominantly attributed to genetic factors, viral infections, and alcohol consumption, characterized by liver cell impairment. Over time, this damage can progress to the formation of fibrous bands (scars), leading to liver failure and posing a threat to the patient's life. Seeking a gastroscopy & hepatology examination with a specialist at Yersin International Clinic assists patients in recognizing early signs of the disease in its initial stages, enabling more effective prevention and treatment.
