What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure that allows doctors to examine the interior of the body using a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope). This procedure is commonly used to diagnose and treat various conditions of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive systems. At Nividh Hospital, we utilize advanced endoscopic techniques to provide accurate diagnoses and effective treatments with minimal discomfort and quick recovery.

Benefits of Endoscopy
Minimally Invasive – Small incisions or natural body openings are used, leading to less pain, reduced risk of infection, and faster recovery
Accurate Diagnosis – Provides direct visualization of internal organs for a precise diagnosis
Effective Treatment – Some endoscopic procedures can treat conditions during the exam, such as removing polyps or taking biopsies
Quick Recovery – Most procedures require no overnight stay, allowing you to resume normal activities sooner
Reduced Complications – Lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgery due to minimal intervention
Recovery & Post-Treatment Care
Procedure Time : Varies by type of endoscopy (typically between 30 minutes to an hour)
Post-Treatment Monitoring : Observation for a short period to ensure there are no immediate complications (e.g., after colonoscopy or gastroscopy)
Lifestyle Recommendations : Guidance on diet and activity levels following your procedure to promote healing
Follow-Up Care : Additional tests or consultations may be necessary, depending on the findings during the endoscopy
