Upper Gastrointestinal (UGI) Endoscopy is a vital diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to examine the upper part of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Dr. Sarang Mahanaik, a leading gastroenterologist in Indore, offers advanced UGI endoscopy services to diagnose and manage a wide range of upper GI disorders with precision and care.
UGI Endoscopy, also known as Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), involves inserting a flexible endoscope through the mouth to visualize the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). This minimally invasive procedure helps detect abnormalities such as inflammation, ulcers, tumors, and sources of bleeding.
It is essential for diagnosing conditions that cause persistent upper abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, vomiting, or unexplained anemia.
Common indications for UGI endoscopy include:
Persistent heartburn or acid reflux (GERD)
Difficulty swallowing or painful swallowing
Upper abdominal pain or discomfort
Unexplained vomiting or nausea
Detection of ulcers, gastritis, and infections like H. pylori
Screening and biopsy of suspicious growths or tumors
Investigation of gastrointestinal bleeding
At Apple Hospital, Indore, Dr. Sarang Mahanaik performs UGI endoscopy using the latest technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and patient comfort. The procedure is typically done under mild sedation, making it safe and painless.
During the endoscopy, biopsies can be taken for further analysis, and therapeutic interventions like removal of polyps or control of bleeding can be performed if necessary.
If you experience symptoms affecting your upper digestive tract, consult Dr. Sarang Mahanaik in Indore for expert evaluation and UGI endoscopy. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and improve your digestive health.
