Gastroscopy

Procedure to Examine Your Upper Digestive System

Symptoms

Persistent upper abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, chronic nausea, vomiting, or suspicion of ulcers.

Treatment

Gastroscopy involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera through the mouth to view the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It helps diagnose conditions like gastritis, ulcers, or tumors. Treatments include medications, lifestyle changes, or endoscopic interventions, such as dilating strictures.
