FAQ

Gastrointestinal endoscopies are medical procedures that allow doctors to examine the digestive system using flexible cameras and specialized medical instruments, which are inserted through a natural opening (such as the mouth or anus) or through a small incision in the skin. These procedures help diagnose and treat many medical conditions without the need for major surgical incisions.

Types of Gastrointestinal Endoscopies:

Gastroscopy: Used to examine the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It is mainly used to detect stomach ulcers, gastritis, or stomach cancer.
Colonoscopy: Used to examine the large intestine (colon) and rectum. It is used to diagnose colon tumors, ulcerative colitis, or Crohn's disease and can also remove benign tumors.
Enteroscopy: Used to examine the lower parts of the small intestine, which are difficult to reach using standard endoscopy.

There are several liver diseases that can affect its function:

Viral Hepatitis: Caused by viruses such as Hepatitis A, B, and C, and can lead to liver cell destruction in the case of chronic infection.
Cirrhosis: Severe scarring of the liver resulting from repeated injury, such as chronic hepatitis or alcohol consumption.
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): The accumulation of fat in liver cells without an obvious cause like alcohol. It can lead to cirrhosis if left untreated.
Liver Cancer: It may develop as a result of cirrhosis or chronic inflammation, such as in Hepatitis B and C infections.

There are several liver diseases that can affect its function:

Viral Hepatitis: Caused by viruses such as Hepatitis A, B, and C, and can lead to liver cell destruction in the case of chronic infection.
Cirrhosis: Severe scarring of the liver resulting from repeated injury, such as chronic hepatitis or alcohol consumption.
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): The accumulation of fat in liver cells without an obvious cause like alcohol. It can lead to cirrhosis if left untreated.
Liver Cancer: It may develop as a result of cirrhosis or chronic inflammation, such as in Hepatitis B and C infections.

Cirrhosis is a condition that develops when scar tissue accumulates in the liver as a result of repeated or chronic injury, such as viral hepatitis or alcohol consumption. Cirrhosis leads to:

Impaired liver function: The liver’s ability to perform functions like detoxification becomes weakened.
Portal hypertension: Increased pressure in the veins that carry blood from the intestines to the liver.
Liver failure: Cirrhosis may progress to liver failure if left untreated.

Peptic ulcer disease is the erosion of the stomach or duodenal lining. It is diagnosed through:

Gastroscopy: A flexible camera is inserted to examine the stomach and duodenum.
H. pylori tests: A breath test or blood test to detect the bacteria responsible for causing ulcers.
Barium X-ray: Can reveal the presence of ulcers in the stomach.

Colonoscopy is a procedure used to examine the large intestine and colon using a flexible camera. The colonoscope can help with:

Early cancer detection: It is used for early detection of colon cancer, especially in individuals with a family history.
Removal of benign tumors: Benign polyps can be removed during the examination to prevent their progression to cancer.
Diagnosis of inflammatory diseases: Such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the colon. Potential causes include:

Genetic factors: A family history may be linked to an increased likelihood of developing the condition.
Immune system response: It is believed that the immune system attacks healthy tissues in the colon.
Environmental factors: Such as stress or infections, which may contribute to the worsening of the symptoms.

Yes, endoscopy can help treat several conditions, including:

Removal of benign tumors: During the examination, benign polyps that could potentially develop into cancer can be removed.
Stopping bleeding: In cases of gastric or intestinal bleeding, endoscopy can be used to stop the bleeding.
Insertion of stents or tubes: To help open blocked passages in the intestines.
Ulcer treatment: Medications can be injected or damaged ulcer areas can be cleaned using endoscopy.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a condition where stomach acid leaks into the esophagus, causing irritation. Symptoms include:

Heartburn: A burning sensation in the stomach that extends to the esophagus.
Difficulty swallowing.
Chronic cough.
Disrupted sleep: Due to pain and heartburn.

GERD can be diagnosed using endoscopy or a pH monitoring test of the esophagus. Treatment includes medications to reduce stomach acid and dietary changes.

The treatment of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) primarily involves lifestyle modifications, including:

Weight loss: Reducing weight helps decrease fat accumulation in the liver.
Diet: Following a balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and low-fat foods.
Exercise: Physical activity helps improve liver health.
Managing associated conditions: Such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Avoiding liver-toxic medications: Such as certain painkillers or suppleme
