Endoscopy in Bhiwani
An upper GI endoscopy allows Dr. Shivam Sharma to directly examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine using a thin, flexible camera. It is one of the most reliable ways to diagnose the cause of persistent acidity, stomach pain, or difficulty swallowing.
What it's used for
Endoscopy helps identify conditions such as gastritis, ulcers, GERD-related damage to the esophagus, and, when needed, allows tissue samples to be taken for further testing.
What to expect
The procedure is done on an empty stomach and typically takes 10 to 15 minutes. Sedation options are discussed beforehand to keep the patient comfortable throughout.
When to consult
Consider a consultation if you experience ongoing acidity, unexplained stomach pain, difficulty or discomfort while swallowing, or unexplained weight loss.
