Endoscopy

An endoscopy is a test conducted to get a better look at the insides of your body. A thin, long tube with a camera at the end called an endoscope is passed through our body opening like your mouth. This will then give the doctor a better look to make a proper diagnosis or ascertain the condition of your digestive system at any point in treatment. There are different types of endoscopy. An endoscopy that concerns the gastroenterologist is done to look at the digestive system.
