What is Gastroscopy?

Gastroscopy, also known as Upper GI Endoscopy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the upper digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). It involves using a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope, equipped with a light and camera, to view the digestive tract in real-time.

Why is Gastroscopy Performed?

Gastroscopy is a crucial tool for diagnosing and treating upper gastrointestinal conditions. It is recommended for patients experiencing symptoms such as:

Persistent heartburn or acid reflux.
Unexplained abdominal pain or bloating.
Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).
Nausea or vomiting.
Blood in vomit or stools.
Unexplained weight loss.

Conditions Diagnosed or Treated with Gastroscopy

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Evaluating damage to the esophagus from acid reflux.
Stomach Ulcers: Detecting and assessing peptic and gastric ulcers.
Esophagitis: Diagnosing inflammation or irritation in the esophagus.
Hiatal Hernia: Identifying abnormalities in the stomach's position.
Celiac Disease: Confirming the diagnosis through biopsy.
Upper GI Bleeding: Locating and stopping the source of bleeding.

How is Gastroscopy Performed?

At Kaizen Care, we prioritize patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure:

Preparation:
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure to ensure a clear view.
Patients may be given a sedative for relaxation.
Procedure:
The endoscope is gently inserted through the mouth and guided into the digestive tract.
The camera provides detailed images of the upper GI tract.
If necessary, tools can be passed through the endoscope to perform biopsies, remove polyps, or treat bleeding.
Recovery:
Patients are monitored for a short period after the procedure.
Normal activities can usually be resumed within 24 hours, depending on sedation.
