Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (EGD)

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is a specialized diagnostic procedure that allows physicians to directly visualize the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum using a flexible camera (endoscope). This minimally invasive technique provides high-definition imaging, enabling the early detection and evaluation of conditions such as gastritis, ulcers, inflammation, bleeding, and potential tumors.

During the procedure, the endoscope is gently inserted through the mouth and guided through the upper digestive tract, allowing for a comprehensive and accurate assessment. In addition to diagnosis, it also enables therapeutic interventions such as tissue biopsy, removal of small lesions, or control of bleeding when necessary.

This service is essential for patients experiencing symptoms like persistent abdominal pain, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained nausea. It plays a critical role in preventive care, early diagnosis, and the effective management of gastrointestinal diseases, ensuring timely treatment and better clinical outcomes.
