Endoscopy is a medical procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to examine the inside of the digestive tract. It helps doctors diagnose and sometimes treat conditions affecting the oesophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine.

Endoscopy is performed to investigate symptoms such as persistent stomach pain, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, vomiting, bleeding, or unexplained weight loss. It helps detect ulcers, inflammation, infections, tumors, and other gastrointestinal problems.

You will usually be asked to fast for 6 to 8 hours before the procedure to ensure the stomach is empty. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding medications and medical conditions.

Endoscopy is generally not painful. A local anaesthetic spray may be used to numb the throat, and mild sedation may be given to help you relax during the procedure.

The procedure itself usually takes about 10 to 20 minutes. However, including preparation and recovery time, you may need to stay at the facility for a few hours.
