Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy
A gastroscopy is a vital procedure that allows doctors to closely examine the lining of your oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as stomach ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD), inflammation, and other digestive disorders. The procedure can also help guide treatment plans and monitor the effectiveness of ongoing therapies.
Typically performed on an outpatient basis, the procedure takes around 15–20 minutes, with patient comfort and safety carefully prioritised throughout.
A colonoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool for the early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer. It also helps identify issues such as polyps, colitis, and diverticulosis. By detecting abnormalities early, a colonoscopy can significantly reduce the risk of serious complications and improve long-term digestive health.
The procedure usually takes 20–30 minutes and is performed under sedation to ensure you remain relaxed and comfortable. Both gastroscopy and colonoscopy are important for maintaining digestive health and enabling timely treatment when necessary.
