Upper GI Endoscopy – Diagnostic & Therapeutic

Upper GI Endoscopy (also known as OGD – Oesophago-Gastro-Duodenoscopy) is a minimally invasive procedure that allows direct visualization of the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine using a thin flexible camera.

At Dr. Goel’s Clinic, we perform both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy with high-definition equipment to ensure accurate evaluation and safe treatment of various upper digestive disorders.

What Is Upper GI Endoscopy?

It is a simple, daycare procedure in which a flexible endoscope is passed through the mouth to examine the upper digestive tract. This helps diagnose symptoms such as acidity, pain, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, and gastrointestinal bleeding.

  • Real-time visual evaluation of the digestive tract
  • Quick and painless with mild sedation
  • Accurate diagnosis of GI disorders
  • Treatment during the same procedure when required

The procedure typically takes 5–10 minutes and recovery is quick.

Diagnostic Uses of Upper GI Endoscopy

We use upper GI endoscopy to diagnose a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Severe acidity & GERD
  • Gastritis & stomach ulcers
  • Esophageal inflammation or strictures
  • Upper GI bleeding
  • Celiac disease evaluation
  • Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia)
  • Suspected infections or tumors

Endoscopy helps identify the root cause of persistent digestive symptoms.

Therapeutic (Treatment) Procedures

Beyond diagnosis, many treatments can be performed during endoscopy without the need for major surgery:

  • Control of GI bleeding
  • Banding of esophageal varices
  • Dilation of esophageal strictures
  • Foreign body removal
  • Ulcer therapy (injection/thermal)
  • Biopsy sampling for accurate diagnosis
  • Polyp removal (selected cases)

These minimally invasive treatments help avoid hospitalization and open surgery.

When to Consider Upper GI Endoscopy

You should consult Dr. Gautam Goel if you experience:

  • Severe or long-standing acidity/reflux
  • Upper abdominal pain
  • Difficulty swallowing food
  • Persistent vomiting or nausea
  • Vomiting blood or black stools
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Suspected ulcer disease

Early evaluation helps detect problems before they become serious.
