Endoscopy

Diagnostic and therapeutic upper GI procedure

Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure where a flexible camera is used to diagnose—and sometimes treat—conditions of the upper digestive system. It allows detailed examination without incisions.

Accurate diagnosis with quick recovery

So, what is endoscopy?

Endoscopy uses a long, thin, flexible tube with a light and tiny camera to view the lining of the oesophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine. It allows direct inspection and biopsy if needed.

Why do people choose endoscopy?

When symptoms such as persistent nausea, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, or gastrointestinal bleeding occur, endoscopy is the most effective method to identify causes and guide treatment.

What results can I expect?

Endoscopy often provides rapid answers—confirming or ruling out conditions like ulcers, reflux, inflammation, or bleeding. Early diagnosis helps direct appropriate treatment and improve outcomes.

What’s the recovery like?

Recovery from upper GI endoscopy is typically swift—most people return to normal activities the same day. You may feel mildly bloated or sleepy, but full recovery is quick and uncomplicated.
