You don't have to worry about traffic, finding a place to park, or waiting in a busy room.

Doctors that are really good at taking care of intestinal issues

All of our doctors are licensed by the Dubai Health Authority and have had a lot of training in how to treat digestive problems during their general practice education and practical experience.

Our GPs are good at doing thorough abdominal exams, telling the difference between minor digestive problems and serious ones that need immediate care, prescribing the right medications like pain relievers, anti-diarrheals, and laxatives, giving dietary and lifestyle advice to help with symptoms, and deciding when imaging, stool tests, or a referral to a specialist is needed for conditions that need more investigation or procedures.

For only AED 199 each home visit, we offer a lot more than just basic symptom relief. Our full GP service includes a thorough review of your medical history and symptoms, a thorough physical examination of your abdomen to check for tenderness, distension, and abnormal masses, monitoring of your vital signs like temperature and blood pressure, evaluation of your hydration status (which is especially important if you have diarrhea), immediate symptom relief through the right medications, management of your prescriptions for ongoing treatment, dietary and fluid intake guidance tailored to your condition, home care instructions that include warning signs to watch for, and coordination with specialists when you need advanced care or diagnostic tests. When someone suddenly experiences stomach pain, we figure out where it is coming from, how serious it is, and if it is an emergency like appendicitis. We deal with constipation by treating the causes and delivering comfort. We serve people with diarrhea by keeping them from being dehydrated, addressing any illnesses they may have, and helping them get better. You may get all of this specialist care at home and there are no hidden costs or complications with insurance. It's just a fair price for good GP care.

This is a clear, upfront payment that covers your comprehensive GP assessment, examination, diagnosis, and first treatment recommendations. No matter where you live in Dubai, whether you are simply visiting or whether you have insurance, everyone pays the same straightforward rate.

This basic strategy is easier and cheaper for a lot of people than dealing with insurance paperwork, especially when they need to remedy something right away. 

Integrated Medical Records for Ongoing Care

We retain detailed records of your symptoms, the findings of your physical exam, the treatments you get, and any referrals to experts. When you require follow-up care, it's straightforward to transmit all of this information.

Learning About Diarrhea, Constipation, and Abdominal Pain

Finding Out What Is Making Your Stomach Hurt

Abdominal discomfort is any form of pain in the belly, from below the ribs to the pelvis.  It could be moderate cramps or very acute discomfort that makes it impossible to move.   It might be acute, which means it starts quickly and lasts for hours to days, or chronic, which means it lasts for weeks or months. The place where the pain is can often assist figure out what's wrong.  For instance, pain in the upper abdomen could mean issues with the stomach, liver, or gallbladder; pain in the middle of the abdomen could mean issues with the intestines; pain in the lower abdomen could mean issues with the bladder, appendix, or women's reproductive organs; and pain that affects the whole abdomen could mean gastroenteritis or another type of widespread inflammation.

In Dubai, a common cause of gastroenteritis is eating or drinking food or water that has been contaminated with viruses or bacteria.  It can make you cramp, have diarrhea, and even throw up. When you are constipated, your feces builds up and produces dull, cramping pain in your lower belly. People with irritable bowel syndrome have cramping pain that comes and goes and often gets better after they go to the restroom. Food poisoning makes you feel sick, cramps, and generally diarrhea start abruptly hours after you eat food that is contaminated. Burning discomfort in the upper abdomen that is commonly associated to meals can be caused by gastritis or stomach ulcers. Women who have lower abdomen pain that comes and goes get menstrual cramps. Appendicitis, which causes severe pain in the lower right abdomen; kidney stones, which cause severe pain in the flank and abdomen; gallstones, which cause severe pain in the upper right abdomen, especially after eating fatty foods; and intestinal obstruction, which causes severe cramping with vomiting and bloating, are all serious conditions that need immediate medical attention.

By collecting a complete history and completing a physical exam, our GP experts can figure out where, how bad, and what kind of stomach discomfort you have. They can also look for signs of serious illnesses that need immediate care, give you the right pain relief medications for the suspected cause, prescribe treatments for conditions like gastritis or gastroenteritis, and arrange for urgent specialist referrals or emergency transportation if they think you might have appendicitis, gallstones, or another surgical emergency. 

When it's hard to have bowel movements, you have constipation.

If you don't have at least three bowel movements a week or have problems getting rid of stools that are hard, dry, and unpleasant to get rid of, you are constipated. It can happen once in a while because of short-term problems, or it can linger for weeks or months and have a huge influence on quality of life. Acute constipation arises quickly, usually over a few days, and is commonly triggered by changes in food, travel, or medicine. If you have chronic constipation that lasts for months, it could be a sign of a deeper problem that needs to be looked at by a doctor.

Not getting enough fiber from not eating enough fruits and vegetables, not drinking enough fluids (especially in Dubai's hot climate, where air conditioning can make you dehydrated), not moving around enough (like sitting for long periods of time and not doing much physical activity), ignoring the need to go to the bathroom because you're busy or the public facilities aren't comfortable, taking medications like pain relievers, antidepressants, and iron supplements, traveling and changing your routine (which is especially hard for tourists), and stress and anxiety affecting bowel motility. More significant causes include thyroid disorders that slow down metabolism, diabetes that affects nerve activity, irritable bowel syndrome with constipation as the major symptom, and structural intestinal problems that need to be looked at by a professional.

Some of the signs are straining when you go to the bathroom, passing hard or lumpy stools, feeling like you haven't entirely emptied your bowels even after going, bloating and pain in the stomach, a loss of appetite, and, very occasionally, nausea. Our general practitioners can find out how long and how bad your constipation is, what might be causing it by looking at your medical history and doing a physical exam, give you the right laxatives (like stool softeners, osmotics, or stimulants), give you dietary advice that focuses on foods high in fiber and staying hydrated, suggest changes to your lifestyle (like getting regular exercise), and refer you to a specialist if your constipation doesn't get better with treatment or if they think you might have a serious underlying condition.

Having loose feces a lot is one of the causes of diarrhea.

When you have diarrhea, your stools are more liquid and loose than usual.  You might also feel like you need to go right away, have cramps, or not be able to regulate your bowel motions. Acute diarrhea lasts shorter than two weeks and is frequently caused by an illness. Persistent diarrhea is diarrhea that lasts for two to four weeks. If you have diarrhea that lasts longer than four weeks, it could be a sign of a bigger condition that needs to be looked into by a doctor.

Viral gastroenteritis, also known as stomach flu, is the most common cause in Dubai.  It makes you have watery diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and sometimes vomiting.  It normally goes away in a few days. Salmonella, E. coli, and Campylobacter are bacteria that can make you sick and give you diarrhea, a fever, and sometimes blood in your stool. Diarrhea, fever, and sometimes blood in the stool can be caused by germs including E. coli and Campylobacter. Campylobacter and E. Escherichia coli, Campylobacter, and other germs can make you have diarrhea, a fever, and sometimes blood in your stool.   Diarrhea from food poisoning develops abruptly hours after ingesting food that was tainted. People who go to Dubai can get traveler's diarrhea because of bacteria or parasites they aren't used to. Antibiotics and other medicines can change the balance of bacteria in the gut, which can cause diarrhea. If you are lactose intolerant, eating dairy products can make you have diarrhea Irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea as the main symptom causes long-term diarrhea that comes and goes, often when the person is under stress.

You should see a doctor right away if you have bloody or black stools, a fever over 39°C, severe abdominal or rectal pain, signs of severe dehydration like dizziness, less urination, and extreme weakness, diarrhea that lasts more than two days in adults or 24 hours in children, or diarrhea in elderly patients or those with weakened immune systems. Our doctors can check how bad your diarrhea is and what might be causing it, check how hydrated you are and give you advice on how to rehydrate, prescribe anti-diarrheal medications if necessary, give you antibiotics if they think you have a bacterial infection, give you dietary advice for recovery, including the BRAT diet, and set up stool testing or a referral to a specialist if your diarrhea doesn't go away or you have other worrying symptoms.

Our GP Home Care Services for Digestive Problems

Testing for Severe Abdominal Pain

If you suffer unexpected stomach pain that keeps you from doing things during the day or night, our GP experts will visit you immediately. The assessment starts with a detailed pain history that includes when the pain started, whether it was sudden or gradual, where it was located, whether it spread to other areas, what kind of pain it was (cramping, burning, sharp, or dull), how bad it was on a scale from one to ten, what made it worse (eating, moving, or having a bowel movement), what made it better (certain positions or medications tried), and any other symptoms that went along with it, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, fever, or urinary symptoms. A physical exam includes looking for swelling or visible masses, feeling for areas of maximum tenderness, listening for bowel sounds with percussion and auscultation, checking for peritoneal signs that suggest inflammation, and keeping an eye on vital signs for fever or unusual blood pressure.

Our doctors can help with pain right away by giving the right medications. They can also prescribe treatments for conditions like gastritis or gastroenteritis, suggest changes to your diet and positioning to help with symptoms, schedule follow-up visits if treatment is expected to help, or set up urgent specialist referrals or emergency transport for suspected appendicitis, gallstones, kidney stones, or other conditions that need surgery or advanced imaging.

How to Get Rid of Constipation and Deal with It

For patients who have trouble going to the bathroom, our full GP service includes checking how long and how often they are constipated, looking at their diet and fluid intake, talking about medications that might be making the problem worse, checking the abdomen for stool burden and masses, and looking for warning signs of serious underlying conditions. The purpose of treatment is to give rapid relief by using the proper laxatives.  Depending on your unique scenario and any underlying health issues, our doctors may recommend stool softeners for hard stools, osmotic laxatives that suck water into the colon, stimulant laxatives for sluggish bowel motility, or fiber supplements for long-term treatment.

Our nutritional advice is very specific and stresses the importance of gradually adding more fiber to your diet through fruits, veggies, and whole grains.  We also recommend that you drink enough fluids, aiming for eight to ten glasses a day. This is especially important in Dubai's climate. We also tell you to eat foods that are known to help with bowel regularity.   Setting up regular bowel habits, going to the bathroom as soon as you feel the urge, getting some exercise like walking to start your intestines moving, and learning how to deal with stress can all assist with constipation. Stress can make constipation worse. We sent people who have chronic constipation that doesn't respond to these treatments or who have warning symptoms like unexplained weight loss, blood in stools, or severe pain to a gastrointestinal specialist.

Keeping from getting dehydrated and treating diarrhea

Our visit to your home is very important for finding out what's causing your diarrhea and how to treat it, whether it's from food poisoning, a virus, or something else. You can contact us for doctor at hotel service also in Dubai. To evaluate, you need to know when the diarrhea started and how long it lasted, how often and how consistent the stool was, whether there was blood, mucus, or an unusual color, any other symptoms like fever, cramping, or vomiting, what you ate recently and where you might have gotten it from, any medications you are currently taking that could cause diarrhea, and your hydration status by looking at your skin, mucous membranes, and urine output.

Treatment focuses on rehydration by giving specific directions on how to drink water, oral rehydration solutions, or electrolyte drinks in small amounts, what foods to eat and what to avoid during recovery, and how to arrange IV fluids if severe dehydration is present.  Medication therapy may include anti-diarrheal medications like loperamide, but not when there is bloody diarrhea or a high temperature. It also includes antibiotics if there is a strong suspicion of a bacterial infection based on symptoms and the person's history of exposure, as well as anti-nausea medicines if the person is vomiting along with diarrhea. For the first few days of rehabilitation, you should follow the BRAT diet, which includes bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.  Thereafter, you should progressively start eating normal things again. You should stay away from dairy, coffee, alcohol, and foods that are high in fat or spice for a little while.  After diarrhea induced by medications, you might want to think about taking probiotics.

When to Call for Medical Help Right Away
