Diagnosis of the causes of chronic constipation
Chronic constipation is one of the most common digestive problems faced by adults. The causes vary widely, and each requires a different approach. Self-medication with laxatives relieves the symptom but doesn't solve the underlying problem. And without an accurate diagnosis, you can spend years trying to resolve the issue.
The Kandinsky Clinic offers a non-invasive (non-surgical) diagnostic colon transit test. This simple and painless method objectively assesses bowel function and identifies the cause of chronic constipation.
Why is diagnostics necessary?
Chronic constipation rarely has a single cause. It can be related to slow motility of the entire colon, a problem at the rectal outlet, dietary factors, certain medications, endocrine disorders, or neurological causes. Different mechanisms require different treatments.
Colon transit testing objectively reveals where and by how much intestinal transit is slowed. This allows the gastroenterologist to develop targeted therapy.
What we offer
At Kandinsky Clinic, we offer the following treatments for chronic constipation:
- consultation with a gastroenterologist with a detailed anamnesis;
- laboratory diagnostics to exclude endocrine and metabolic causes;
- non-invasive study of colon transit - without endoscopy, enemas and painful manipulations;
- drawing up an individual treatment plan based on the results obtained;
- nutritional and lifestyle counseling to prevent recurrence.
The test requires no special preparation and doesn't disrupt your daily routine. This makes the diagnostic procedure accessible and comfortable, even for those who have put off visiting a doctor due to fear of examinations.
