There are several signals from the body that should not be ignored. Many people mistakenly associate them with stomach or gallbladder problems, rather than with intestinal health. As a result, valuable time can be lost, increasing the risk of serious diagnoses.
“People rarely think about their health until something goes wrong. Any unpleasant symptom is first of all a signal that deserves attention. We often assume that if something hurts, the goal is simply to eliminate the pain. In reality, pain is a clue showing where attention is needed, not something to be ignored or suppressed,” explained a gastroenterologist and hepatologist with a PhD in medical sciences.
The doctor emphasized that it is important to establish healthier habits as early as possible in order to prevent more serious problems in the future. According to the specialist, the first digestive issues often begin to appear around the age of 30.
As the doctor noted, intestinal tumors do not develop suddenly. Chronic intestinal inflammation and dysbiosis can lead to the formation of polyps, followed by dysplasia as the next stage of the process. If left unaddressed, these conditions may increase the risk of serious gastrointestinal diseases.
In a post on the doctor’s Telegram channel, it was advised that anyone experiencing persistent stomach discomfort should consult a specialist and consider having their intestinal health evaluated.
Important note:
Digestive symptoms can have many causes. Only a qualified healthcare professional can provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate recommendations.
