Upper GI endoscopy for children in Dhaka, Bangladesh

What is upper GI endoscopy?

Upper GI endoscopy is a medical test used to check a child's food pipe, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. To see within the mouth, a thin, flexible tube with a small camera is inserted. This helps doctors in detecting conditions such as swelling, ulcers, infections, or bleeding. The treatment is safe and takes little time.

It assists doctors in determining why a kid experiences stomach pain, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or other digestive problems. Doctors also use this test to treat some conditions. They can remove small objects stuck in the food pipe, stop bleeding, or take small samples of tissue for testing. A child may get mild sleep medicine to stay relaxed during the procedure.

The process of upper GI endoscopy

An upper GI endoscopy is a simple and safe test that helps doctors check a child’s esophagus, stomach, and upper intestine. The process is done in a hospital or clinic by the doctor himself. Here is the process:

Before the procedure: The child should refrain from eating or drinking for a few hours before the test. This keeps the stomach empty, allowing the doctor to view it inside. To keep the child comfortable doctors use mild anesthesia.
During the procedure: A tiny, flexible tube known as an endoscope is gently guided down the mouth and neck into the stomach. The tube contains a tiny camera that feeds photos to a screen, allowing the doctor to detect any issues. The test is harmless, however the youngster may experience a small feeling in their throat.
After the procedure: The child may feel a little sleepy because of the sedative. A mild sore throat is normal but will go away soon. The doctor will share the results and suggest treatment if needed. The child can usually go home the same day and return to normal activities soon.
