Endoscopy Preparation Guidelines

Endoscopy: What It Is and How to Prepare

Endoscopy is a modern diagnostic method that allows doctors to examine internal organs using an endoscope (a flexible tube with a camera at the end). This method is used to assess the condition of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, and other areas of the body.

When is endoscopy prescribed?

Endoscopy is performed to diagnose:

• Diseases of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines (gastritis, ulcers, polyps)

• Chronic inflammatory processes

• Tumors and neoplasms

• Causes of pain, heartburn, nausea, or difficulty swallowing

How to prepare for endoscopy?

To ensure accurate results, it is necessary to:

1. Follow a diet. Avoid fatty and heavy foods 1–2 days before the procedure.

2. Fast. Do not eat for 8 hours before the examination.

3. Inform your doctor about medications. Clarify whether you can continue taking your medications.
