Download PDF Version 'Umekita Onsen Ren Wellbeing Park' (General Manager: Tatsuya Fujitate, Location: Osaka City) announces that it will hold its 12th health seminar on April 24, 2026, jointly with its partner medical institution, 'Iseikai International General Hospital' of the Medical Corporation Iseikai (Representative: Koji Tani, Headquarters: Osaka City). For this 12th seminar, we will welcome Dr. Masahiko Kawamoto from the Department of Gastroenterological Surgery at Iseikai International General Hospital as the lecturer, to speak on the theme: 'That abdominal pain, could it be gallstones? Knowing the symptoms and treatment of gallstones.' Gallstone disease is primarily a condition where stones form in the gallbladder, which can cause sudden severe abdominal pain and nausea. In recent years, it is increasingly found by chance during health checkups, but caution may be required even if there are no symptoms. In this lecture, we will explain the causes, symptoms, examination methods, and treatments for gallstones in an easy-to-understand manner, including cases where surgery is necessary. After the seminar, an on-site tumor marker blood test will be conducted for health awareness. Depending on the test results, it is also possible to make an outpatient appointment at Iseikai International General Hospital. Why not take a moment to think about your future health? Before and after the seminar, you can enjoy bathing in our large public baths featuring natural hot springs, and dining on our symptom-specific proposed menus centered on fermented foods. Please spend a well-being moment unique to our facility, where you can experience learning and healing at the same time.
