Explore Angiodysplasias and Their Impact on Health
Angiodysplasias typically occur in the colon and are a significant source of unexplained GI bleeding, especially in individuals over the age of 60. The involvement of abnormal blood vessels can lead to anemia and other complications, making early diagnosis and tailored treatment critical for managing symptoms and maintaining overall health. It is noteworthy that angiodysplasias are commonly identified using endoscopic procedures, such as colonoscopy and upper endoscopy.
Signs Indicating Angiodysplasias in Your GI Tract
Patients with angiodysplasias may experience various symptoms, including:
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Anemia
- Fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek medical evaluation promptly. The sooner we can assess your condition, the better we can tailor an effective treatment plan to address your unique needs.

Diagnosing angiodysplasias requires advanced imaging and endoscopic techniques. Our Long Island practice employs state-of-the-art diagnostic methods such as:
