Metro Medical Gastroscopy Package with Biopsy & Histopathology - By G.I. Specialist

Gastroscopy is also called oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD). It is an endoscopic examination of the inside of your upper digestive tract, including the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum (i.e. the first part of the small intestine). It is often used in patients suspected of peptic ulcer disease, digestive tract bleeding, indigestion, acid reflux (heartburn), difficulty in swallowing, and oesophageal or stomach cancer.

How Should I Prepare for the Gastroscopy Examination?

You need to fast for at least 8 hours before the examination. Sips of water may be taken up to 2 hours before the examination. This ensures that your stomach is emptied for better visualization. Residual food may obscure viewing of the digestive tract and lower the diagnostic value of the examination.

If you are taking any medications, your nurse will give you specific instructions on whether or not to continue with them. Please let us know of your current medications, especially anti-platelet or anti-coagulation drugs (blood thinners). You should also inform us of any major medical conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, pregnancy, and any allergic history.

Dentures, eye glasses, and metallic objects will need to be removed before the examination. Please avoid bringing any valuable jewellery with you. You should also avoid heavy drinking, smoking, or the use of sedatives before the examination.
