Digestive health, cancer prevention and intestinal microbiota

A preventive approach based on your history, habits and needs, with specialist care in Bogotá.

Digestive health, cancer prevention and intestinal microbiota

Prevention based on your risk

The consultation reviews personal and family history, previous studies and risk factors. This information supports discussion of testing, follow-up and prevention opportunities. Prevention cannot guarantee that a disease will never occur.

Microbiota without one-size-fits-all solutions

The intestinal microbiota is a community of microorganisms. It needs to be considered alongside symptoms and medical history. Probiotics do not help equally in all conditions and do not replace specialist assessment.

A plan you can understand

The assessment aims to agree on priorities and answer your digestive-health questions. Bring available studies, family history of digestive cancer and a list of supplements or products you use. The plan and follow-up are tailored to each person.

Frequently asked questions

Does this consultation replace colonoscopy?

No. The consultation helps assess whether you need tests and which ones are appropriate.

Does everyone need probiotics?

No. Use depends on the clinical situation; there is no universal recommendation for everyone.
