Endoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of the body using a flexible tube with a camera on the end. This procedure helps in diagnosing conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, such as the stomach, oesophagus, and duodenum. Endoscopy is often used for conditions like acid reflux, ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, and unexplained pain.
Types of Endoscopy We Offer:
Conditions Diagnosed with Endoscopy:
Colonoscopy is a procedure that allows doctors to examine the entire colon (large intestine) using a long, flexible tube with a camera. Colonoscopy is a crucial diagnostic tool for detecting issues such as colorectal cancer, polyps, and chronic conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. It's also recommended as a routine screening test for individuals over 50 or those with a family history of colon cancer.

You should consider an endoscopy or colonoscopy if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Both endoscopy and colonoscopy are preventive measures for early diagnosis, especially if you're at higher risk for gastrointestinal diseases due to factors such as family history, age, or previous medical conditions.
If you are experiencing symptoms like persistent abdominal pain, digestive discomfort, or have a family history of colorectal conditions, it's time to consider endoscopy or colonoscopy. At Ashraya Hospital, we offer expert diagnostic care for all your gastrointestinal needs. Our team is dedicated to providing accurate results and personalised treatment to ensure your digestive health.
You will be given specific instructions depending on the procedure. For a colonoscopy, you may need to follow a clear liquid diet and take a bowel prep to ensure your colon is clean. Endoscopy generally requires fasting for several hours before the procedure.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedures due to sedation or local anaesthesia. You may feel some mild discomfort afterwards, but it usually subsides quickly.
In most cases, results are available within a few days to a week, depending on whether biopsies or additional testing are required.
If you were sedated, it's recommended that you arrange for someone to drive you home. You may feel a little groggy after the procedure, so it's important to avoid driving.
For individuals at average risk, colonoscopy screenings are recommended starting at age 50 and should be done every 10 years. However, if you have a family history of colorectal cancer or other risk factors, your doctor may recommend more frequent screenings.
