What is Gastroscopy?
A thin camera examines the food pipe, stomach and duodenum to find the cause of acidity, pain, bleeding or difficulty swallowing — and to take biopsies.
A gastroscopy (upper GI endoscopy) passes a slim flexible camera through the mouth to inspect the food pipe (esophagus), stomach and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). It gives a direct, detailed view that scans cannot, making it the key test for upper-digestive symptoms.
