Frequently Asked Questions

Who should get an endoscopy done and when is the right time to book an appointment?

Endoscopy is recommended for patients who suffer from digestive issues such as heartburn, stomach pains, or any changes to bowel movements. It's also used for routine cancer screenings starting around 45-50 years of age or earlier for those with a familial history of gastrointestinal issues.

Could you elaborate on what happens in endoscopic procedures?

Physicians carry out endoscopy by inserting a thin and flexible tube with a camera attached into the patient to look at their digestive system. Endoscopy procedures require sedation thus safely and comfortably take between 15 to 45 minutes. Since the patients are sedated during the procedure, most of them do not remember the process afterwards.

How do I get ready for my endoscopy?

Each procedure has specific requirements and may include dietary changes or fasting. We provide personalized guidelines for every patient. Most individuals, however, are able to go home the same day after a brief recovery period.
