Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Carcinoid Tumors?
A group of symptoms that occur when a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) releases hormones into the bloodstream. Symptoms include diarrhea and facial flushing. These tumors can be cancerous or non-cancerous, and most develop in the gastrointestinal tract, though they can also be found in other organs.
Treatment of Carcinoid Tumors
Treatment includes addressing the tumor itself through surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Additionally, medications can slow down hormone production responsible for some symptoms. Meanwhile, simple steps like using cool towels on the face and avoiding alcohol can alleviate hot flash symptoms.

What People Say about Ubie?

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
