Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy?
Diagnostic endoscopy helps doctors visualize internal organs to detect abnormalities like ulcers, tumors, infections, or blockages. Therapeutic endoscopy goes a step further by allowing treatments during the same procedure, such as polyp removal, biopsies, or stent placement without major surgery.
Is endoscopy painful and how should I prepare for it?
Most endoscopic procedures are done under sedation or anesthesia, so patients usually feel minimal discomfort. Your doctor will give specific pre-procedure instructions like fasting for a few hours and stopping certain medications beforehand. Recovery is generally quick, but arranging someone to accompany you home is recommended.
Which conditions can be diagnosed using endoscopic procedures?
Endoscopic procedures help diagnose conditions such as acid reflux, ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, polyps, tumors, chronic abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, and unexplained digestive symptoms. It allows doctors to view internal organs clearly and take biopsies if needed.
How long does an endoscopic procedure usually take?
Most diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures take 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the type of procedure and the condition being treated. Patients are usually observed for a short period afterward before being discharged.
Are endoscopic procedures safe?
Yes, endoscopic procedures are generally safe and minimally invasive when performed by experienced specialists. Complications are rare, and the procedures reduce the need for open surgery, leading to faster recovery and less discomfort.
How soon can I return to normal activities after an endoscopy?
Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours after the procedure. However, if sedation is used, doctors may advise resting for the remainder of the day and avoiding driving or heavy work until fully alert.
