Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Upper GI Endoscopy in Dehradun | Panacea Hospital

What is an Upper GI Endoscopy?

An Upper GI Endoscopy is a safe and simple test. It helps doctors see the inside of your food pipe, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Because a thin, flexible tube with a small camera is used, doctors can check for problems like pain, burning, or bleeding with great clarity.

When Do You Need This Test?

Doctors may suggest this test if you face:

• Ongoing heartburn or acidity

• Trouble swallowing food

• Pain in the stomach or chest

• Frequent nausea or vomiting

• Signs of bleeding in vomit or stool

• Suspected ulcers or infection

Since the test shows clear images, doctors can also take small tissue samples, if needed, for more checks.

How the Test is Done

The test is quick and usually takes less than 30 minutes. First, the throat is numbed with a spray. Then, light sedation may be given, so patients stay relaxed. After that, the doctor gently passes the endoscope through the mouth. Because the tube is soft and thin, only mild discomfort is felt. Finally, after a short rest, most patients can return home the same day.
