Gastroscreening

Gastrointestinal tract screening

At Silk Medical we are aware of the importance of examining and diagnosing your body to detect diseases at an early stage. Treatment of many diseases can be more effective if they are detected at an early stage, and in some cases it can save a life. Our gastroenterological screening checks the condition of your gastrointestinal tract and assesses the state of the digestive system. To do this, a number of check-ups are carried out. Based on the results our specialists will give you recommendations for lifestyle changes or (if necessary) treatment in order to eliminate or reduce the risk of severe diseases. Prevention is always better than cure, and in most cases early detection leads to successful treatment.
