Doctors can monitor your healing through physical exams, laboratory tests like a complete blood count or liver function tests, and assess for conditions such as gastritis, stomach ulcers, or delayed gastric emptying. These check-ins allow for early detection of issues that may otherwise go unnoticed, such as nutrient deficiencies or chronic inflammation. Healthcare providers can also adjust your treatment plan, recommend other treatments, and offer referrals to specialists if necessary.
