About Endoscopy Test

An endoscopy test, performed by a gastroenterologist, is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows direct visualization of the upper digestive tract. Using a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope, equipped with a light and camera, the doctor can examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and the beginning of the small intestine (duodenum). This procedure is crucial for investigating symptoms like persistent heartburn, abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained bleeding. It enables the doctor to identify conditions such as ulcers, inflammation (gastritis or esophagitis), hiatal hernias, and growths (polyps or tumors). During the endoscopy, the specialist can also take tissue samples (biopsies) for laboratory analysis or perform treatments like stopping bleeding or removing polyps, often making it a one-stop solution for diagnosis and minor interventions.

Key Highlights

Direct Visualization: Provides a clear, real-time view of the upper GI tract lining for accurate diagnosis.Minimally Invasive: Performed without surgical incisions, leading to less pain and quicker recovery.Diagnostic & Therapeutic: Allows for both examination and immediate treatment, such as biopsy or polyp removal, in a single session.listrongHigh Accuracy:/strong Considered the gold standard for diagnosing many gastrointestinal conditions like ulcers, gastritis, and Barrett's esophagus./lilistrongOutpatient Procedure:/strong Typically done on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day./li/ul

How to prepare

Fasting: Complete fasting (no food or liquids) for 6-8 hours before the procedure to ensure an empty stomach.
Medication Review: Inform your doctor about all medications, especially blood thinners (like aspirin, warfarin), which may need to be temporarily stopped.

Risks & possible complications

Reaction to Sedation: Rare allergic reactions or breathing difficulties from the sedative medication.
Perforation: A very small risk of a tear in the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum lining.
Bleeding: Minor bleeding may occur, especially if a biopsy or polyp removal is performed.
Infection: Risk is extremely low but possible, particularly if a therapeutic procedure is done.
Sore Throat: Mild throat irritation or discomfort is common for a day or two after the procedure.

Recovery & hospital stay

You will be monitored in a recovery area until the sedative effects wear off (usually 30-60 minutes).
Due to sedation, avoid driving, operating machinery, or making important decisions for the rest of the day.
You may resume a normal diet once swallowing returns to normal, starting with clear liquids.
Expect some bloating, gas, or a mild sore throat, which should resolve within 24-48 hours.
Your doctor will discuss preliminary findings after the procedure, with biopsy results typically available in a few days.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, fever, chest pain, or difficulty breathing.

Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient)

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
