Safety And Convenience: A Priority In Every Procedure
Safety is paramount at UGI Endoscopy. The procedure is remarkably safe, and complications are exceedingly rare. Typically conducted on an outpatient basis, you can expect to be discharged within 2-3 hours, allowing you to resume your daily activities promptly.
When To Consider UGI Endoscopy: Recognizing The Signs
If you experience symptoms such as bleeding (red or coffee-colored blood) from the mouth, difficulty swallowing food, upper abdominal pain, or chronic diarrhea, UGI endoscopy may be recommended. These indications serve as valuable guides for our medical team to thoroughly assess and address potential digestive issues.
Therapeutic Interventions: Enhancing Your Digestive Well-being
UGI endoscopy goes beyond diagnosis; it provides a platform for therapeutic interventions aimed at improving your digestive health. Some procedures that can be seamlessly performed during endoscopy include:
1. Banding of Varices: Addressing abnormal blood vessels to prevent complications.
2. Endotherapy of Ulcers: Targeted treatment for ulcerative conditions in the digestive tract.
3. Polyp Removal: Safely eliminating abnormal growths that may pose a risk.
4. Foreign Body Removal: Swiftly addressing instances where foreign objects may affect digestion.
