UGI Endoscopy Services
UGI endoscopy, also known as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, is an advanced diagnostic procedure used to examine the food pipe (esophagus), stomach, and the upper part of the small intestine. It helps identify the cause of persistent digestive symptoms that cannot be diagnosed through routine tests. Performed by an experienced gastroenterology specialist, UGI endoscopy ensures accurate evaluation while maintaining patient safety and comfort throughout the procedure.

What Does a UGI Endoscopy Examination Include?
A UGI endoscopy involves the use of a thin, flexible tube with a camera to closely examine the upper digestive tract. It helps detect inflammation, ulcers, infections, bleeding, narrowing, or abnormal growths in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
Before the procedure, patients receive clear instructions to ensure safety and comfort. During the examination, sedation may be provided if needed. If required, biopsies can be taken during the same procedure to confirm diagnosis. The focus remains on precise evaluation and patient reassurance.

- Chronic acidity, acid reflux, and GERD symptoms
- Persistent stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting
