Cholestasis treatment in Cancún

Cholestasis is the reduction or interruption of the flow of bile from the liver to the intestine, which causes substances that are normally eliminated to build up in the body.

Common symptoms: itching of the skin, yellowish coloring of the skin and eyes, dark urine, and pale-colored stools.

Common causes: obstructions in the bile ducts, liver disorders, and, in some women, changes typical of pregnancy.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist evaluates the liver and bile ducts to identify the origin, and in pregnancy the gynecologist provides close follow-up. If yellowish coloring or persistent itching appears, it is advisable to seek a professional evaluation without putting it off.
