Common procedures used in Gastroenterology

• Endoscopy is a procedure in which a thin long tube that has a tiny camera attached to its one end is inserted from the mouth so that the doctor is able to see the upper digestive tract from the inside. This might be used when a person is suffering from heartburn, vomiting, belly pain, peptic ulcer, acid reflux, and other gastric-related issues.
• Colonoscopy is a procedure that is commonly used worldwide. In this, the doctor puts a thin scope that also has a camera attached to its one end but it is inserted from the rectum area in order to see the inside of the colon, rectum, large intestine, etc. This helps the doctor to see if there is any inflammatory bowel disease, the reason for internal bleeding, signs of polyps, the internal condition of the intestine, etc.
• Enteroscopy is required when endoscopy and colonoscopy fail to find the exact problem occurring in the digestive tract. In this procedure, a tiny video capsule is swallowed that is built to transmit pictures of the inside of the digestive tract that helps in revealing the cause of bleeding, ulcers, Crohn's disease, and other digestive diseases.
