What Is Video Endoscopy?
Video Endoscopy is a medical procedure in which a thin, flexible instrument called an endoscope is used to examine the inside of the body. A miniature camera transmits images to a monitor, allowing the doctor to inspect the digestive tract in detail.
Depending on the clinical requirement, endoscopy may be used to examine the food pipe (oesophagus), stomach, and the first part of the small intestine.
Why Is Video Endoscopy Recommended?
A doctor may recommend endoscopy to investigate symptoms such as:
-
Persistent acidity or heartburn
-
Difficulty or discomfort while swallowing
-
Recurrent abdominal pain
-
Persistent nausea or vomiting
-
Suspected stomach ulcers or inflammation
-
Unexplained digestive discomfort
-
Gastrointestinal bleeding or black stools
-
Difficulty identifying the cause of ongoing digestive symptoms
