Gastric ulcer Treatment in Ekol International Hospitals

Gastric ulcer care at Ekol International Hospitals in Izmir, Turkey, combines gastroenterology with general surgery support. The ISO-certified hospital group has nine hospitals in Izmir and over 15 years of experience.

Diagnosis with endoscopy

A gastric ulcer forms when damage to the stomach’s protective lining lets acid harm the tissue. The clinic offers endoscopy to view the digestive tract and check the stomach lining.

• Endoscopy with biopsy: A flexible scope passes through the mouth or another natural opening. Doctors can view abnormalities and take tissue samples.
• Colonoscopy: This diagnostic procedure is also available at the clinic.

Treatment options

• Medical treatment for gastric ulcers: A physician reviews the patient’s medical history and prescribes medication. The plan also includes dietary and lifestyle changes.
• Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment: Endoscopy helps detect an ulcer and collect tissue samples for diagnosis.
• Gastrointestinal bleeding care: The gastroenterology service treats bleeding from the mouth or anus, which can accompany ulcer disease.

The gastroenterology department provides a dedicated stomach ulcer treatment programme, with support from the general surgery team. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.
