Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to examine the internal organs using a flexible tube called an endoscope. It is used to diagnose various conditions, perform biopsies, and assist in surgical procedures by providing a clear view of the internal structures.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during an endoscopy. Sedation is often provided to help you relax and reduce any pain or anxiety. After the procedure, you may feel some mild bloating or cramping, but these symptoms typically subside quickly.
Preparation varies depending on the type of endoscopy being performed. Generally, you may be advised to fast for several hours before the procedure and avoid certain medications. Your doctor will provide specific instructions tailored to your situation.
Recovery from an endoscopy is usually quick. You may feel groggy if sedation was used, so it’s essential to have someone drive you home. Most patients can resume normal activities within a day, although some may experience minor discomfort or bloating.
While endoscopy is generally safe, there are potential risks, including bleeding, infection, and reactions to sedation. Your doctor will discuss these risks with you before the procedure and take steps to minimize them.
