If you have problems in your upper digestive system, such as: pain in the abdomen, stomach, difficulty in swallowing food, vomiting, bleeding, wounds, lumps, endoscopy is a method for observing the internal parts of the body and in diagnosing or treating your disease. It is helpful.

What is an endoscope?

The endoscope is a long and thin tube that is flexible and receives images. The details of the images through a screen help the doctor to diagnose your problem. It is possible to remove a polyp through an endoscope. If the source of an ulcer is found, it is burned by the endoscope to stop the bleeding. If the doctor sees a suspicious tissue, he takes a sample from it, which is called a biopsy.
A biopsy is a useful method used to diagnose abnormal cell growth. Also, endoscopy determines the bacteria that cause digestive ulcers.

Do we need hospitalization after endoscopy?

Endoscopy is usually considered as an outpatient procedure, which means that you can go home after doing it. This procedure may be performed in a doctor's office or hospital.

Before endoscopy

First of all, talk to your doctor about the specific problem and disease you have or the medicine you are taking. Because problems related to the lungs and heart may require special treatment before, during, or after the endoscopy. Some people need antibiotics before these steps.

If you use medicine, you should ask your doctor if you can take it before endoscopy or not?

Do not use aspirin or ibuprofen before the endoscopy. Do not use similar products 7 days before endoscopy, as these products increase the risk of bleeding during endoscopy.

After the endoscopy, the doctor will tell you when you can use your medicines again.

Why should our stomach be empty during endoscopy?

The presence of food in the upper digestive tract prevents the observation of the desired part, in addition, it causes vomiting and complex problems.

After endoscopy

Do not eat anything until the numbness returns.

When you get ready to go home, you don't drive.

Inform your doctor if you notice the following symptoms:

Painful swallowing, swollen throat, chest pain, vomiting, fever and black or very dark stools.

colonoscopy      

It is used in the diagnosis of colon diseases such as polyps, colon cancer, chronic inflammation of the colon or infections.
These diseases can turn into colon cancer.

Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers among men and women and can affect several family members. Colonoscopy is a common procedure that allows the doctor to diagnose and treat colon cancer in the early stages. Colon cancer is usually seen in the beginning as an appendage called a polyp that hangs inside the large intestine. Not all polyps are cancerous. But they need to be well checked and observed. Colon cancer is characterized by signs of blood in the stool (black or very dark stools) and changes in bowel habits.

What is a colonoscope?

This device is a flexible tube that is inserted through the anus into your large intestine. This tube has a light source that transmits images from the inside of the large intestine onto a screen and allows the doctor to see inside the intestine. See the big one.

The colon is the last part of the intestine, which is also called the large intestine. Fibers and digested food reach the large intestine after passing through the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. In the large intestine, water, salts and other nutrients are absorbed, and the stool is stored in the end of the intestine before being excreted.

Before colonoscopy

For a colonoscopy, the colon must be clean. You need to follow the instructions of your doctor and nurse. until your bowels are empty of feces.

What is liver fibroscan and how is it done?

Fibroscan is a non-invasive, outpatient, relatively cheap and easy method for estimating the degree of liver damage or liver fibrosis and stiffness, monitoring progress or recovery, prognosis and guidance in choosing appropriate treatments. The fibroscan device measures the hardness of the liver tissue using low-frequency ultrasonic vibration waves. In this method, a 50 Hz wave from a wave generator that is produced at the head of an ultrasonic lever (probe) (located in the intercostal space adjacent to the liver) enters the liver, and the speed of transmission of these waves in the liver tissue is measured in meters per second. It is measured. This number is converted into a liver stiffness index in kilopascals. This whole process is called elastography using infrasound. Sometimes, ultrasound devices are also used to measure the stiffness of the liver, which is less accurate. Send feedback Side panels History Saved

Fibroscanning is basically used to evaluate the severity of liver stiffness and fibrosis, but with advanced techniques, the amount of liver fat is also examined. Bad noted that nothing is 100%, but the high accuracy of this method has greatly limited the need for liver sampling. Accurate and simple evaluation of the severity of liver damage and more careful monitoring of the progress or regression of liver disease with periodic examination and choosing better treatments and performing simple and without anesthesia has caused more attention to this method in dealing with liver diseases.

How is endosonography performed?

Our digestive system, which extends from the mouth to the anus, is like a tube that is about seven meters long. The digestive system is a long tubular organ that continues from the mouth to the anus and each part performs specific actions and tasks. The mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine are the parts of this long tube through which food passes. Almost all parts of this very long tube have the ability to perform wave-shaped muscle movements, which are called smoky movements, and push the food forward along the tube. In this way, several other organs, such as the liver, pancreas, and gall bladder, help to digest food. The digestive system includes many different organs and various disorders can threaten the health of each one. Send feedback Side panels History Saved

Endosonography is one of the best methods for diagnosing disorders of the digestive system. Endosonography is one of the best methods for diagnosing disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, which is a combination of two imaging parts, endoscopic and ultrasound. Endosonography is a specific method to examine the lining and wall of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, which is performed to detect masses using photography and to identify the nature of the mass or cyst by creating a gap and sampling it. With the help of endosonography, images of the organs that are located next to the digestive tract, such as the bile duct and pancreas, are obtained.
