Information
What is an Endoscopy?
When is an Endoscopy Recommended?
Endoscopy may be recommended for several reasons, including:
- Diagnosis of Symptoms: If you’re experiencing persistent symptoms like abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, chronic heartburn, or gastrointestinal bleeding, an endoscopy can help identify the underlying cause.
- Monitoring Existing Conditions: For patients with known gastrointestinal conditions, such as Barrett’s esophagus, Crohn’s disease, or celiac disease, regular endoscopy can monitor disease progression and assess the effectiveness of treatment.
- Biopsy and Treatment: During an endoscopy, your doctor can take tissue samples (biopsies) for further analysis or perform certain treatments, such as removing polyps, treating bleeding sites, or dilating strictures.
What to Expect During an Endoscopy
At United Gastroenterology Associates, we strive to make your endoscopy experience as comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
- Preparation: Before the procedure, you’ll receive specific instructions, such as fasting for a certain period. It’s crucial to follow these instructions to ensure the procedure’s success.
- Procedure: On the day of the endoscopy, you’ll be given a sedative to help you relax. The procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. The endoscope is gently inserted through your mouth and guided down your esophagus into the stomach and duodenum. The camera transmits images to a monitor, allowing the doctor to examine the area in detail.
Recovery:
After the procedure, you’ll rest in a recovery area until the sedative wears off. You might feel a bit groggy or have a mild sore throat, but these symptoms usually resolve quickly. Most patients can return to normal activities the next day.
Insurance and Payment
We understand that medical procedures can be financially concerning. At United Gastroenterology Associates, we accept most major insurance plans and are here to assist you with any insurance-related questions. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, ensuring you receive the care you need.
