All You Need to Know about a Gastroscopy at Promed Endoscopy

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Your doctor will spray your throat with a local anaesthetic and give you a sedation to help you relax. You’ll then lie on your back, and a doctor will pass the tube through your mouth and into the esophagus, stomach and duodenum.

The tube doesn’t interfere with your breathing. Most patients consider the test not at all uncomfortable, and many patients fall asleep during the procedure as it is conducted under sedation.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

A gastroscopy usually takes about 10 minutes. However, you should allow at least 2 hours for the whole appointment to prepare, give time for the sedative to work (if you have one). A gastroscopy does not usually hurt, but it can be a little uncomfortable after the procedure.

HOW TO PREPARE?

Our team at Promed Endoscopy will get in touch with you before your procedure and inform you of all steps to take before your arrival and what steps to take after your procedure.
