Stomach endoscopy

Stomach Endoscopy (Upper GI Endoscopy) is a vital diagnostic procedure used to examine the upper part of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. At Vajaratkar Clinic, we offer expert stomach endoscopy services under the care of Dr. Aniket Vajaratkar, a skilled surgeon trained in performing safe and effective upper GI endoscopies. This procedure is especially helpful for patients experiencing symptoms such as chronic acidity, stomach pain, indigestion, nausea, bloating, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained weight loss. Using a thin, flexible tube with a camera at the tip (called an endoscope), the doctor can directly visualize the inner lining of the upper digestive tract. The procedure typically takes only 10–15 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation, ensuring comfort and minimal discomfort. One of the key advantages of this test is that it not only helps in diagnosing conditions like gastritis, ulcers, acid reflux damage.

Patients can usually go home the same day and resume normal activities shortly afterward. Early diagnosis through stomach endoscopy plays a crucial role in preventing complications and planning effective treatment for conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed until they become severe. For individuals suffering from chronic digestive complaints, frequent use of antacids, or symptoms that do not respond to medication, an upper GI endoscopy is a recommended next step. At Vajaratkar Clinic, we are committed to delivering accurate diagnosis and comprehensive care. Dr. Aniket Vajaratkar ensures that each patient receives detailed pre-procedure counseling and post-procedure guidance for a smooth, stress-free experience. If you’re facing persistent digestive discomfort or symptoms of upper gastrointestinal issues, don’t ignore them—book your consultation for stomach endoscopy today and take the first step toward better digestive health and peace of mind.
