An endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure where a thin, flexible tube with a camera is used to examine the digestive tract. It is often recommended to diagnose or monitor conditions like acid reflux, ulcers, or abnormal growths.

Before a colonoscopy, you will be given detailed instructions, which typically include a liquid diet the day before and taking a prescribed laxative to empty the colon for a clear view during the procedure.

Most gastroenterology procedures, like endoscopy and colonoscopy, are performed with sedation, ensuring you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the process. Some patients may experience mild discomfort afterward, but recovery is typically quick.
