Gastroenterology in Marbella | Advanced Digestive Health Care
Struggling with digestive symptoms or a chronic condition? At Compass Clinic Marbella, our expert gastroenterologists provide personalised diagnostics, prevention, and treatment plans to help you restore and maintain your digestive health with confidence.
Understanding the Digestive System and Its Complexities
Gastroenterology is a medical specialty focused on diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, including the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. At Compass Clinic, our gastroenterologists diagnose and treat conditions such as acid reflux, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, cirrhosis, and bowel cancer.
We combine clinical expertise with cutting-edge technology to offer early detection, precise diagnosis, and effective treatment of digestive conditions—always tailored to your needs.
Modern Endoscopic Techniques for Accurate Diagnosis
Used to examine the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum, gastroscopy is key to diagnosing ulcers, reflux, gastritis, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The procedure is safe, quick, and performed under sedation for your comfort.
This essential procedure allows for a complete examination of the colon and rectum. It plays a central role in detecting colorectal cancer, polyps, and inflammatory bowel diseases, often enabling therapeutic intervention during the same session.
A cutting-edge method to explore the small intestine using a swallowable camera capsule. It is particularly useful for identifying causes of unexplained bleeding or small bowel conditions that standard endoscopy cannot reach.
Your Gastroenterology Journey at Compass Clinic
A detailed evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and dietary habits. This first step helps us understand your condition and determine the most appropriate diagnostic approach.
Performed using advanced medical equipment and sedation to ensure maximum comfort. Depending on your symptoms, we may recommend endoscopy, imaging tests, or specialised lab analysis.
Based on your diagnosis, we create a tailored plan that may include medication, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle adjustments—along with regular follow-up to monitor your progress.
