A Gastroscopy is the evaluation of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum - the upper digestive tract - with a camera that is attached to a flexible tube and passed through the mouth. The procedure is done to detect open sores, ulcers, and other issues that may be occurring in the upper digestive tract.

There are many reasons for this procedure including:

• Indigestion
• Anemia
• Weight Loss
• Vomiting
• Passing Black Motions
• Vomiting Blood
• Difficulty Swallowing

You may have been advised by your physician to undergo this procedure to find the cause of your symptoms. Beaumont GI Services can perform the gastroscopy and help with follow up treatment after as well.
