Upper GI Endoscopy in Kolkata

An upper GI endoscopy test is conducted by the doctor to examine problems related to your upper gastrointestinal tract like the oesophagus (food pipe), stomach, and small intestine.

The endoscopy tube is a long and flexible one with an in-built camera, that the doctor inserts through the mouth and pushes down the throat to take pictures of the affected organs of the upper GI tract. The images of the gastrointestinal tract will show on the monitor.

Some of the reasons why the doctor will perform an upper GI endoscopy are:

• To remove blockages in the area
• To understand the cause of unexplained anaemia; detect the cause of internal bleeding (if any) and stop it using endoscopic tools
• To identify precancerous anomalies, benign and malign cancerous growths, or ulcers in the tract; take a tissue biopsy from the specific area. The procedure is also used to remove such growths.
• To ascertain the cause of inflammation, upper belly or chest pain, difficulty in swallowing food, continuous vomiting, etc
• To determine the presence of gastroesophageal reflux disease
• To examine the narrowing of the oesophagus and perform endoscopic surgery to dilate the area
• To see the extent of damage caused to the organs by swallowing harmful and toxic substances
• To determine the presence of infections in the upper GI tract
• Post-operative examination of the stomach and small intestine

Endoscopy is a safe procedure that typically takes 15 to 30 minutes to complete.

Preparation for Upper GI Endoscopy

Have a frank discussion with your doctor about what you could be expecting from the procedure. If you are on any type of medication that might counter effects during and after the procedure, allergic to any medicines or local/general anaesthesia, share it with your doctor. You might have to be on a special diet for a couple of days prior to the test. You cannot take any fluid or food for 8 hours before the test. You may be asked to take a laxative to help prepare your bowel. You will be sedated during the procedure, so it is a good idea to have someone with you on the day of the examination to drive you home.
