Endoscopy is usually used by doctors to take a look at the internal organs of a human body. During the endoscopic process, a patient may at times be administered anesthesia. This process is used to examine the interiors of the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopies are typically performed on those suffering from gastroenterological diseases.
An endoscopy machine is basically a flexible tube which has a light and a small camera attached to it. By using this device, a doctor can see the digestive tract of the patient on a monitor, and find out anomalies if any and thus diagnose a disease. Some of the best endoscopists in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Mumbai and other metro cities who are associated with world-class health care facilities use advanced technology and the latest practices in medicine to diagnose uncommon diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and liver with the help of these non-invasive methods.
Endoscopies are usually prescribed by physicians so as to assess and examine the cause of certain physical conditions. Some conditions that may necessitate an endoscopic assessment are mentioned below:
· Stomach pain
· Gastritis
· Polyps in the colon
· Ulcers and trouble with swallowing
· Chronic diarrhea
· Chronic constipation
· Digestive tract bleeding
Apart from these, a physician may use an endoscopic procedure for other reasons as well, which have been mentioned below:
· Verification of a formerly made diagnosis through a biopsy for conditions such as inflammation, anemia and cancers of the GI tract
· For the examination of symptoms such as vomiting, nausea and stomach pain to diagnose any medical condition related to the GI tract
· Treating internal organs, such as clipping off a polyp, cauterizing a bleeding vessel, removing an object from the digestive tract or widening the esophagus.
The endoscopic procedure is also used by the doctors to take a biopsy. Biopsy is basically the removal of some tissue from the body of a patient which can then be used to diagnose conditions like cancer. However, it is always recommended that when going for such sophisticated diagnostic procedures, be it in a world-class health care facility in Mumbai, Gurgaon, Noida or in Delhi, patients should only go to the best endoscopists to get the best diagnosis of the condition.
Endoscopy is one of the safest non-invasive methods of diagnosis and treatment and patients recommended to go through one can be assured of getting the best results provided the procedure has been performed by an experienced endoscopist in a good health care facility.
