Endoscopy F&Q

An endoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to view the inside of the body without making large incisions. A flexible tube with a light and camera (endoscope) is inserted through a natural opening (such as the mouth or anus) to examine parts of the digestive system or other organs.

Endoscopy can be performed for various reasons, including diagnosing conditions like ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), screening for cancer, removing foreign objects, and helping to treat conditions like bleeding ulcers or widening narrowed areas of the esophagus.

Preparation for an endoscopy may involve fasting for a certain period before the procedure, typically 6 to 8 hours, to ensure an empty stomach. Your doctor might also adjust or stop certain medications and will give you specific instructions based on the type of endoscopy being performed.

Endoscopy is generally not painful, but it can be uncomfortable. Most patients receive a sedative to help relax and sometimes a local anesthetic to numb the throat or area being examined. This makes the procedure tolerable, and many patients do not remember it afterward.

Endoscopy is considered a safe procedure with a low risk of complications. Possible but rare risks include bleeding, infection, and perforation (tear) of the stomach or esophagus wall. The risk depends on the type of endoscopy and the reason for the procedure.

Recovery from an endoscopy is usually quick. The effects of the sedative can take a few hours to wear off, so patients are advised not to drive or operate heavy machinery until the next day. Most people can return to their normal activities within 24 hours.
