Digestive symptoms are among the most common reasons patients see their GP. Abdominal pain, bloating, changes in bowel habit, heartburn or blood in the stool can have many causes — from benign irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to serious conditions like bowel cancer or inflammatory bowel disease.
At Kirurgen.dk, specialist Dr. Bahir Hadi has written evidence-based articles on the most common gastrointestinal disorders. They explain symptoms, work-up and treatment options in plain language, and point to relevant examinations such as colonoscopy and gastroscopy when further work-up is needed.
The clinic sees patients referred by a doctor. If you are in health insurance group 1 and have a valid referral from your GP, the examinations and treatments covered by the clinic's public health agreement are covered by the Danish public health insurance, so you pay nothing for them yourself. If you are in health insurance group 2, there is usually a small co-payment under the health insurance rules. If you are paying yourself, contact the clinic for a price.
