Digestive System

At Quirónsalud Torrevieja, we provide a comprehensive Digestive Health service delivered by a highly qualified medical team. Our gastroenterology specialists in Torrevieja are trained to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, liver, biliary system and pancreas, in both functional and pathological states.

We also take into account the wider impact that digestive disorders may have on the rest of the body, as well as how other medical conditions can affect the digestive system.

Advanced Diagnosis of Digestive Disorders in Torrevieja

At Quirónsalud Torrevieja, we use state-of-the-art technology to provide accurate diagnosis of a wide range of digestive conditions, including:

• Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis)

• Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD)

• Gastrointestinal cancer

• Coeliac disease

• Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)

• Liver and pancreatic diseases

Our gastroenterology specialists employ advanced techniques such as digestive endoscopy, capsule endoscopy and abdominal ultrasound to identify and assess digestive disorders quickly and effectively.

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) in Torrevieja

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) is a digestive disorder caused by an excessive growth of bacteria in the small intestine. This imbalance can lead to symptoms such as abdominal bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhoea or constipation.

At Hospital Quirónsalud Torrevieja, our Digestive Health Department includes specialists experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of SIBO, offering a personalised approach based on clinical assessment and specific diagnostic testing.

Diagnosis of SIBO

SIBO is diagnosed using specific tests such as the breath test, always under the assessment of a gastroenterology specialist. An accurate diagnosis enables us to establish the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient.

Treatment of SIBO

Treatment is tailored to the individual patient and may include medication, nutritional guidance and specialised medical follow-up, with the aim of relieving symptoms and improving intestinal health.

Comprehensive and Personalised Digestive Care

We provide a personalised approach to the treatment of digestive disorders at Quirónsalud Torrevieja. Each treatment plan is tailored to the specific needs of the patient and may include:

• Individualised pharmacological therapy

• Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy using minimally invasive techniques

• Minimally invasive digestive surgery to improve recovery and reduce hospital stay

• Capsule endoscopy for advanced assessment of the small intestine

Our gastroenterology team works collaboratively to ensure comprehensive and effective care that enhances our patients’ quality of life.
