Endoscopy – Why Is It Done?

Endoscopy is a procedure that uses a thin, flexible camera to examine the food pipe, stomach, and upper digestive tract.

It is commonly done to:

  • Investigate abdominal pain, acidity, or difficulty swallowing
  • Detect ulcers, inflammation, or bleeding
  • Identify abnormalities or growths
  • Help diagnose digestive conditions
