Possible manifestations: alterations in blood sugar, abdominal discomfort, changes in digestion, or symptoms related to the hormone involved.
Which specialist treats it? Its study usually coordinates an endocrinologist, a gastroenterologist or endoscopist and, depending on the case, a general surgeon or oncologist. If you have persistent symptoms that are unexplained, the advisable step is to have them evaluated by a health professional.
