How it usually happens

Aslan, 45, an entrepreneur, loved raw fish and often ordered sushi. He trusted the quality of the food and only chose expensive restaurants. Over time, though, Aslan began noticing discomfort in his right side and general weakness

The symptoms were subtle, so Aslan ignored them for a long time, blaming them on work fatigue. Friends advised him to get checked, since he often ate raw fish. Aslan decided to get examined at KAZMED Clinic

Testing a sample of the fish he had recently eaten revealed opisthorch eggs. Aslan was diagnosed with opisthorchiasis, affecting the liver and bile ducts. Early diagnosis prevented more serious complications
