Colonic Angiodysplasia treatment in Ciudad de México

Angiodysplasia of the colon consists of the presence of abnormal, fragile blood vessels in the wall of the large intestine, which can rupture and cause bleeding.

Frequent symptoms: Bleeding from the rectum, presence of blood in bowel movements, tiredness or paleness resulting from blood loss; at times it goes unnoticed until detected on a study.

How is it usually identified? It is often discovered during examinations of the intestine performed to investigate bleeding or anemia.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist and the endoscopist usually handle the study of the intestine, and the general surgeon may intervene depending on the case. If you notice bleeding during bowel movements or signs of unexplained anemia, the prudent thing is to seek a specialized evaluation.
