What does it consist of?
The Barrett's oesophagus it is a condition in which the normal lining of the oesophagus changes as a consequence of chronic gastro-oesophageal reflux. It usually appears in patients with long-standing reflux and although it can be associated with digestive symptoms, it does not always give clear signs on its own, which makes its diagnosis and monitoring especially important.
It is considered a condition that needs specialised control, as in some cases it can progress over time. Therefore, it is essential to have a precise diagnosis and appropriate follow-up to detect any early changes and act in good time.
When can I have my first consultation?

Also when it has already been detected Barrett's oesophagus And it is important to correctly define control and monitoring.
