Gastroscopy

Overview

Gastroscopy is a simple, minimally invasive procedure used to examine the upper part of the digestive system—mainly the esophagus, stomach, and the beginning of the small intestine. At Gurjar Hospital, gastroscopy is performed using a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope, which has a light and camera attached to it. This helps doctors view the inside of the digestive tract in real-time. The procedure is quick, safe, and highly useful in diagnosing many stomach and digestion-related issues. It usually takes just 10 to 15 minutes and requires little to no downtime.

Symptoms / Conditions We Treat with Gastroscopy

You may be advised to undergo a gastroscopy if you are experiencing:

• Persistent upper abdominal pain or discomfort

• Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)

• Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite

• Vomiting or nausea that doesn’t go away

• Acid reflux or heartburn

• Blood in vomit or black stools (signs of internal bleeding)

• Chronic indigestion or ulcers

• Suspected growths, tumors, or infections in the upper GI tract

Gastroscopy helps detect conditions such as gastritis, ulcers, esophageal inflammation, tumors, and early signs of cancer.
