  1. Tips To Prepare for An Upper Endoscopy

  2. Upper Endoscopy Upper endoscopy, also known as an EGD, is one such procedure. It is a non-surgical way for doctors to look at the digestive tract so that they can diagnose and treat some gastrointestinal diseases and disorders.

  3. How An Upper Endoscopy Is Done The procedure uses a thin tube called a gastroscope. The gastroscope has a small light and video camera attached at the end. It is lowered into the mouth, through the esophagus, into the stomach, and then the duodenum.

  4. Preparation Tips Talk To Your Doctor The most essential part of upper endoscopy preparation is talking to your doctor. The doctor will let you know what you need to prepare for the procedure, e.g. if you are on medication, which ones you should stop taking and at what time before the procedure.

  5. Know When to Stop Eating & Drinking Another prep for endoscopy you need to take is to stop eating and drinking well in advance of the procedure. This reduces the likelihood of your stomach contents refluxing and being breathed into the lungs.

  6. Arrange For Someone to Take You Home Arrange for a friend or family member to take you home after the procedure.

  7. Expect Mild Discomfort You can use over-the-counter medications approved by your doctor, eat ice pops, or walk around regularly to ease the discomfort. The symptoms should clear within a few days. Click here for information!
