Obesity: the benefits of treatment in Israel
Obesity is a disease in which excessive fat deposits form in the fiber and other tissues of the body. The disease progresses against the background of the excess of the calorie content of food over the body's needs for the energy component. Obesity can be an impetus for the development of diseases of the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system, diabetes, and in some cases lead to oncology.
Timely diagnosis and treatment in Israeli clinics will help to avoid such consequences. Israeli medicine is famous all over the world for its high achievements, highly qualified specialists and innovative scientific developments. In addition, in Israeli clinics - the most optimal ratio of cost criteria and the quality of services provided. For comparison, the highest prices are offered by US medical institutions, slightly lower than the cost in Western European clinics. Israel is in third place in pricing policy, and in fourth place are medical institutions of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region (China, Thailand, Korea, etc.).
How do Israeli clinics diagnose obesity?
Diagnosis of a disease such as obesity takes no more than 2 days in Israeli clinics. The latest research equipment plus highly qualified doctors allow us to accurately determine the nature of the disease and choose the optimal therapy protocol. On the first day, the patient is sent to an endocrinologist, who conducts an examination and prescribes additional diagnostic procedures, including a general, hormonal and biochemical blood test.
Based on the results, treatment is prescribed. In Israeli clinics, a multidisciplinary approach is practiced, when not one endocrinologist is involved, but a team of specialists, including nutritionists, psychotherapists, surgeons and other doctors, which allows for a broader effective approach to the treatment of obesity.
When pre-calculating the price of services diagnostics and treatment, as a rule, the maximum cost is announced to the patient, which can be significantly reduced in the process of examinations and prescribing therapy.
Obesity treatment methods in Israeli clinics
Obesity therapy involves the use of non-drug, conservative and surgical methods. Such effective modern methods are used as:
- intragastric balloon installation - a soft balloon is inserted into the patient's stomach through the oral cavity, which is then filled with saline to reduce the size of the stomach. Six months later, the balloon is removed;
- sleeve gastroplasty - removal of the predominant part of the stomach is performed in Israeli clinics using a modern laparoscopic method through miniature punctures in the abdomen;
- gastric bypass - used in severe stages of obesity, consists in creating a reservoir in the upper part of the stomach, which ensures that food bypasses most of the stomach. It is also carried out by a gentle laparoscopic method.
The advantages of treating obesity in Israeli clinics are many. This includes the high level of diagnostic and treatment services provided, the availability of advanced equipment, highly qualified personnel, and low prices. All these factors encourage thousands of patients from around the world to visit Israeli clinics every year. In addition, we must pay tribute to the unique climatic conditions, comfortable environment, conducive to a speedy recovery.
