Gleneagles Hospitals | Visualizing Digestive Health: A Closer Look at Upper GI Endoscopy

Gleneagles Hospitals | Visualizing Digestive Health: A Closer Look at Upper GI Endoscopy Dr. Meghraj Ingle, Director-Clinical Gastroenterology at Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai, talks about upper GI endoscopy. Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, commonly referred to as endoscopy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the upper digestive tract, encompassing the esophagus and the stomach. This procedure involves the insertion of a thin, flexible tube equipped with a light and camera through the mouth and into the stomach. The process is relatively straightforward. Prior to the procedure, patients typically receive premedication to numb the throat for comfort. While the patient is awake and communicative, the endoscope is gently guided through the throat into the esophagus and further down into the stomach. Throughout the examination, the entire interior of the stomach is meticulously inspected. If deemed necessary, small tissue samples may be collected for further analysis. This enables the detection of abnormalities such as ulcers, inflammation, or bleeding. Typically lasting between 5 to 10 minutes, upper GI endoscopy is known for its safety and effectiveness. Most patients report minimal discomfort or sensation during the procedure, with any potential gagging or discomfort subsiding shortly after completion. Upper GI endoscopy is recommended for individuals experiencing a range of digestive issues, including acidity, heartburn, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, or signs of gastrointestinal bleeding. By undergoing this procedure, patients can receive an accurate diagnosis and subsequently pursue appropriate treatment options to address their condition effectively.
