Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD): Caring for your health!

Take care of your health with modern and precise diagnostics!

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD) is an advanced medical procedure that allows doctors to accurately diagnose and treat diseases of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. If you are experiencing discomfort, pain, or other symptoms related to the gastrointestinal tract, EGD can be the key to your health and well-being.

Indications for EGD

• Abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, weight loss
• Ulcers, gastritis, esophagitis, polyps, cancer
• Assessment of treatment effectiveness, for example, in ulcer disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

How to prepare for the procedure?

• The patient should refrain from eating and drinking for 6-8 hours before the procedure
• It may be necessary to temporarily stop taking certain medications, such as anticoagulants
• The patient should inform the doctor about any allergies, chronic diseases, and current medications

Conducting the procedure

Local anesthesia for the throat and sedative drugs for relaxation are typically used. A thin, flexible tubular instrument with a camera and light source is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The doctor examines the internal surfaces of the organs, looks for abnormalities, and may take a biopsy (a small piece of tissue) for further analysis.

Benefits of EGD

• Allows direct visualization and examination of the internal surfaces of the organs
• Allows tissue samples to be taken for histological analysis
• Possibility of performing certain therapeutic procedures, such as polyp removal or stopping bleeding

EGD is an important diagnostic tool that helps doctors accurately identify and treat various diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
