What is allergology?
Allergology is the medical specialty that focuses on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of allergies. Allergies are exaggerated reactions of the immune system to substances that are normally harmless, such as pollen, dust mites, food, or medicinal products. At HM Hospitales, we treat a wide range of allergies, including respiratory allergies (asthma, rhinitis), skin allergies (atopic dermatitis, urticaria), food allergies, drug allergies, and insect sting allergies.
Comprehensive approach
Our allergologists offer personalized care, taking into account your medical history, lifestyle, and the specifics of your allergy. We perform diagnostic tests to identify the allergens causing your symptoms. In addition, we collaborate closely with other specialties, such as pulmonology, dermatology, otorhinolaryngology, and immunology, to offer a comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment plan. At HM Hospitales, we support you every step of the way, with a human and professional team dedicated to your well-being.
Diagnostic techniques
To diagnose accurately, we use various techniques, including skin tests (e.g. prick tests and intradermal reaction tests), blood tests (specific IgE), provocation tests, and respiratory function tests.
Treatments
We offer treatments tailored to each patient, from pharmacotherapy (antihistamines, corticosteroids) to specific immunotherapy (allergy vaccines). At HM Hospitales, we focus on improving your quality of life, providing the tools and knowledge required to control your allergy and minimize its impact on your daily life. If you need more information for treating your allergy or want to make an appointment, do not hesitate to contact us.
