Gastroenterologist in Kyiv: Diagnosis and Treatment of Digestive Diseases at CSM Clinic

Gastroenterology is the field of medicine concerned with the health of our digestive system, on which immunity, skin condition, and overall energy depend. At CSM Clinic in Kyiv, we offer an expert approach to treating the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas, combining accurate instrumental diagnostics with evidence-based treatment protocols. We aim not just to treat symptoms but to find the cause of the problem, minimizing the medication load where possible.

When Do You Need a Gastroenterologist Consultation?

The digestive system often gives signals that we are used to ignoring. It is worth booking an appointment if you have the following symptoms:

regular abdominal pain (in the upper abdomen, around the navel, or wrapping around the body);

frequent heartburn, sour or bitter belching;

a feeling of heaviness after eating, bloating (flatulence);

nausea, a bitter taste in the mouth in the morning;

bowel problems (chronic constipation or diarrhea);

skin rashes that do not respond to treatment by a dermatologist;

unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite.

Important: Blood in the stool, black stool, or sharp pain accompanied by fever are reasons to see a doctor immediately!

Which Diseases Do We Treat?

CSM Clinic provides care for a wide range of digestive tract conditions:

Stomach diseases: gastritis (including Helicobacter pylori-associated), peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Gallbladder and liver diseases: cholecystitis, biliary dyskinesia, fatty liver disease, hepatitis.

Pancreatic diseases: pancreatitis, enzyme insufficiency.

Intestinal diseases: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colitis, dysbiosis.

Diagnostics in Gastroenterology

Appropriate treatment is not possible without understanding what is happening inside. At CSM Clinic in Kyiv, the following are available:

Abdominal ultrasound: basic screening of the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

Laboratory diagnostics: blood chemistry (liver tests), stool analysis (coprogram), tests for parasites.

Helicobacter pylori tests: a breath test or stool/blood test to detect the bacterium that causes gastritis.

Gastroscopy and colonoscopy: the gold standard for examining the mucous membranes (when indicated).

Abdominal CT: for detailed imaging of complex conditions.

What Does an Appointment Look Like?

At the initial consultation, the doctor asks in detail about your lifestyle and diet, palpates the abdomen, and examines the tongue (which is considered a "mirror" of the stomach). Based on this, a plan for further testing is made. We do not order unnecessary tests, only those needed to establish a diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to see a gastroenterologist on an empty stomach?

It is advisable not to eat for 3–4 hours before the visit, since palpation of a full stomach may be less informative and uncomfortable. If blood tests or an ultrasound are planned for the same day, the visit must be strictly on an empty stomach.

What should I avoid before the appointment?

Do not scrape the coating off your tongue (it is an important diagnostic sign), do not drink alcohol the day before, and do not take painkillers right before the visit, as this may "blur" the clinical picture.

How does a gastroenterologist differ from a dietitian?

A gastroenterologist treats diseases (inflammation, ulcers, infections). A dietitian selects a diet for healthy people or adjusts nutrition as part of treatment. At CSM Clinic, these specialists often work together.

Do I have to swallow a "tube" (have a gastroscopy)?

Not always. Gastroscopy is prescribed only for clear indications (suspected ulcer, erosions, cancer). Many functional disorders can be diagnosed with ultrasound and tests.

How often should I have a preventive checkup?

If you have no complaints, an abdominal ultrasound once a year is enough. If you have chronic conditions (for example, gastritis), visits are recommended every 6 months or on an individual schedule.
