👨‍⚕️ Dr. Pitulak Aswakul, our gastroenterologist, explains how the preparation and screening process typically works: https://smtvj.com/47sMrl9

❤️ Feeling like your heart is racing, skipping beats, or beating irregularly? An irregular heartbeat can occur when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or out of rhythm — and may sometimes cause palpitations, dizziness, lightheadedness, or fatigue. In some cases, symptoms may appear only occasionally, making them easy to overlook.
👩‍⚕️ Dr. Orapin Chawankul, our cardiologist, shares information about irregular heartbeat, including possible warning signs, in the graphic below.

When it comes to colonoscopy, quality should be measurable.
At our Samitivej Sukhumvit Colore**al Center, procedures follow the standards of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). We also track Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR) — a key indicator of how effectively polyps are found.
Our current ADR is 40%
(ASGE benchmark ≥35% for screening colonoscopy)
Most colore**al cancers begin as small polyps. Detecting polyps early increases the chance of removing them before they progress.
🔎 Diagnostic precision is supported by:
• Board-certified GI specialists
• Clinical collaboration with Sano Hospital, Japan
• AI-assisted imaging to enhance real-time recognition of small or difficult-to-detect lesions
Alongside diagnostic precision, patient safety is supported by anesthesiologist-supervised sedation, with continuous monitoring throughout the procedure.
