Endoscopy Overview

Oesophageal-Gastro-Duodenoscopy (OGDS) is used to examine the upper part of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It is commonly performed to investigate symptoms such as persistent heartburn, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, and unexplained weight loss.

Colonoscopy is performed to examine the inner lining of the large intestine (colon and rectum). It helps in diagnosing conditions such as colorectal cancer, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, and unexplained changes in bowel habits.
