Endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine a person's
digestive tract. An endoscope is a flexible tube with a light and camera
attached to it that will be passed through the patient mouth to see the upper gastrointestinal
tract (esophagus and stomach), your doctor can view pictures of your digestive
tract in a color TV monitor.
From Endoscopy doctors can see peptic ulcers, bleeding, and any cancer growth
can be detected. For patients who have indigestion, burning sensation in the
chest and excessive burping, and pain in the stomach, weight loss is the right candidate
to undergo endoscopy.
