How this doctor can help:

If you’re experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, unexplained weight loss, bloating, or abrupt changes in bowel habits, consulting a gastroenterologist like Dr. Pavlović is a prudent first step toward diagnosing and understanding your condition. Accurately interpreting these symptoms is the key to accurate diagnosis and formulating an effective treatment plan.
The diagnostic process typically begins with a comprehensive evaluation, followed by detailed laboratory testing to uncover any underlying health issues. Subsequent diagnostic imaging, such as ultrasound, may be used to identify abnormalities such as cysts, stones, inflammation, and other conditions that could be causing your symptoms.
For more in-depth analysis, endoscopic procedures such as gastroscopy and colonoscopy are often recommended. These procedures provide a direct visualization of the gastrointestinal tract, offering a detailed assessment of the mucosal lining and the presence of any abnormalities.

These procedures important treatments, such as taking small tissue samples (biopsies) and removing growths like polyps (polypectomy). These steps are important not only for precise diagnosing, but also for early detection of serious conditions, such as cancer.

“Preventive check-ups are crucial health maintenance, as they allow us to identify and treat potential health issues before they become serious.
