UGI Endoscopy Treatment in Indore by Dr. Sarang Mahanaik

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.

Overview of UGI Endoscopy

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.

Indications and Conditions Diagnosed with UGI Endoscopy

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
