Gastroscopy
A gastroscopy is an examination in which the doctor views the oesophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine through a thin flexible tube with a camera. This is done in case of complaints such as reflux, stomach pain, nausea, or if ulcers, bleeding or inflammation are suspected. If necessary, tissue samples (biopsies) may also be taken during the examination, for example to detect celiac disease or an H. pylori infection.
What exactly does that mean?
Our strength is that you can consult a team of specialists during one appointment, as well as have a battery of medical examinations. Our team of specialists includes a cardiologist, internist gastroenterologist, vascular surgeon, urologist, nose-throat-ear specialist and gynaecologist. The screening is followed by a discussion with the specialist and, at the latest within a week, a complete medical report with the results and your personal recommendations (e.g. adjusting lifestyle, starting medication, referral to another specialist or for further examination, etc.).
Why a gastroscopic examination?
Blood and urine tests are important diagnostic tests that help doctors understand more about your health. These tests provide valuable information about the functioning of your organs, the functioning of your immune system, and can help detect diseases or abnormalities early. The goal? Identify disorders, evaluate the functioning of vital organs such as the kidneys and liver, and detect diseases or abnormalities at an early stage. These tests help doctors make an accurate diagnosis and create a personalised treatment plan.
