Internal medicine deals with overall health, connecting symptoms that at first glance seem unrelated. In a modern lifestyle, which is characterized by stress, a fast pace and lack of physical activity, internal medicine plays a key role in the early detection of chronic diseases, such as thyroid disease, stomach pain, joint or bone pain.
In this context, special attention deserves gastroenterology i rheumatology, two areas of internal medicine that deal with common, but complex and long-term illnesses.

It is estimated that more than 40% of the population will experience some form of digestive tract disorder during their lifetime, while GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) affects 20-30% and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) affects 10-15% of the population. With thorough and timely endoscopic procedures such as gastroscopies or colonoscopies, patients can detect and treat diseases in time.
In addition to these procedures, Prof. Doder also removes polyps (polypectomy), which significantly reduces the risk of developing colon cancer.
