Gastroscopy (Stomach) & Colonoscopy (Large bowel)

Gastroscopy (Stomach)

unresponsive to medical therapy. - Those who have difficulty swallowing.
- Individuals with an apparent mass in the gastric region, accompanied by unexplained
weight loss or loss of appetite. - Patients diagnosed with H. pylori infection but not responding to triple therapy.

oxidized old blood.
