消化器内科では、食べたものを消化して栄養素を吸収するために働く器官である胃、腸、食道、肝臓、膵臓、胆道を主に診察していきます。実は消化器の病気は最も頻度が高くとても厄介です。胃がもたれる、胃痛、腹痛、胸やけがする、吐き気がある、血便が出るなど気になる症状がある方は早めの受診をおすすめします。
当院では的確な治療ができるよう、また患者さんの不安を少しでも和らげることができるよう多数の機器を揃えており、医師の判断によっては検査を行います。(当院の設備についてはこちら)
検査は費用や時間がかかりますが、患者さんを健康に導くために必要な手段です。
診断材料が不足しているとき、何かしらの病気が疑われるとき等、必要な時に必要な検査をすることで、いち早く診断をつけ、早く治るよう最善の治療法のご提案をいたします。
検査結果を患者さんと一緒に見ながら、患者さんの視点に立って現況やこれからの治療方針などを、わかりやすくご説明させて頂き治療を進めてまいります。

"In Gastroenterology, we primarily examine the organs involved in digesting food and absorbing nutrients, such as the stomach, intestines, esophagus, liver, pancreas, and bile duct. Digestive system diseases are, in fact, the most common and can be quite challenging. If you experience symptoms such as indigestion, stomach pain, abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, or bloody stools, we recommend seeking medical attention promptly."
"At our clinic, we have equipped a variety of instruments to ensure accurate treatment and to alleviate any patient concerns as much as possible. Depending on the physician's judgment, we may also conduct examinations. (For information about our facilities, please refer here.)"
Tests may incur costs and take time, but they are necessary means to guide patients towards health.
When diagnostic materials are insufficient or there is suspicion of some illness, conducting the necessary tests at the right time allows us to promptly make a diagnosis and propose the best treatment for a faster recovery.
While reviewing the test results together with the patient, we will explain the current situation and future treatment plans in an understandable manner from the patient's perspective, and proceed with the treatment.
