Best Endoscopy Treatment

What Is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a safe, minimally invasive procedure used to examine the inside of the upper digestive tract including the esophagus, stomach, and the beginning of the small intestine. It helps diagnose and sometimes treat a wide range of gastrointestinal (GI) conditions with real-time, high-definition imaging.
At Gastro Mumbai, we use advanced endoscopic technology to provide clear visual assessments that lead to faster, more accurate diagnoses and effective treatments.
When Is Endoscopy Recommended?
- Ongoing upper abdominal pain or discomfort
- Trouble swallowing (dysphagia)
- Persistent acid reflux or heartburn
- Unexplained vomiting or nausea
- Weight loss or anemia without clear cause
- Suspected ulcers, bleeding, or growths in the GI tract

What Happens During the Procedure of Endoscopy?
Fasting before the test
You’ll need to avoid food and drink for at least 6–8 hours before the procedure to ensure your stomach is empty and the view during endoscopy is clear and safe.
Sedation and comfort
A mild sedative is given through a vein to help you relax. This ensures you remain comfortable and calm throughout the procedure without experiencing
pain.
Inserting the Endoscope
A thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) is gently passed through your mouth and throat to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine.
Examining and treating
Your doctor will view real-time images and may take small tissue samples (biopsies) or treat minor problems like bleeding or narrowing during the same session.
Quick Recovery & Discharge
The procedure usually lasts 15–30 minutes. After a short rest as the sedative wears off, you’ll be monitored and allowed to go home the same day with clear instructions.
Common Conditions Diagnosed or Treated with Endoscopy
Endoscopy helps uncover the root cause of many digestive symptoms by providing a clear view of your upper GI tract. From inflammation to early cancer signs, it plays a key role in accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
Peptic Ulcers
Endoscopy helps detect ulcers in the stomach or duodenum, assess their severity, and check for bleeding or infection.
Esophagitis & reflux disease (GERD)
It can confirm inflammation caused by acid reflux and detect complications like erosions or Barrett’s esophagus.
Hiatal hernia
Endoscopy can visualize a part of the stomach pushing into the chest, which may worsen acid reflux symptoms.
Esophageal varices
Used to detect swollen veins in the esophagus, often in patients with liver disease, and treat them to prevent bleeding.
Upper GI bleeding
Endoscopy helps locate the source of bleeding and allows immediate treatment using clips, injections, or banding.
Early detection of stomach or esophageal cancer
It helps detect and biopsy early-stage cancers in the esophagus or stomach for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
