Best Gastroscopy in Indore

Gastroscopy, also known as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, is a minimally invasive procedure performed by Dr. Iqbal Nabi Qureshi to evaluate and diagnose conditions affecting the upper digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.

Comprehensive Evaluation: During a gastroscopy procedure, Dr. Qureshi uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light at the tip, called an endoscope, to examine the lining of your upper digestive tract in real-time. This allows him to visually inspect for abnormalities such as ulcers, inflammation, tumors, or signs of bleeding.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Capabilities: In addition to visual inspection, gastroscopy provides the capability for diagnostic sampling and therapeutic interventions. Dr. Qureshi can take tissue samples (biopsies) for further analysis, remove polyps, stop bleeding, dilate strictures, or place stents to alleviate blockages.

Indications for Gastroscopy: Gastroscopy may be recommended for various reasons, including:

  • Investigating symptoms such as abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, or persistent heartburn.
  • Diagnosing conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, gastritis, or Barrett’s esophagus.
  • Screening for conditions such as esophageal or gastric cancer in high-risk individuals.

Expertise and Patient Comfort: Dr. Qureshi has extensive experience in performing gastroscopy procedures and prioritizes patient comfort and safety throughout the process. He takes the time to explain the procedure, answer any questions you may have, and ensure that you feel informed and at ease before, during, and after the examination.

Follow-Up and Continued Care: Following the gastroscopy procedure, Dr. Qureshi provides detailed findings and recommendations based on the results. He works closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Dr. Qureshi emphasizes the importance of follow-up care to monitor your progress and ensure optimal outcomes.

Schedule Your Consultation: If you’re experiencing symptoms related to your upper digestive tract or have been recommended for gastroscopy, schedule a consultation with Dr. Iqbal Nabi Qureshi. With his expertise in gastroenterology and commitment to patient-centered care, he will ensure that you receive the highest quality of evaluation and treatment.

FAQs

Gastroscopy is typically not painful. Before the procedure, Dr. Qureshi may administer a sedative to help you relax and minimize discomfort. You may experience mild throat discomfort or a gagging sensation as the endoscope is inserted, but most patients tolerate the procedure well. Dr. Qureshi and his team will ensure that you are as comfortable as possible throughout the examination.

The duration of a gastroscopy procedure can vary but generally takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Factors such as the complexity of the examination, any additional procedures performed (such as biopsies or therapeutic interventions), and patient comfort may affect the overall time. Dr. Qureshi will provide you with detailed instructions and information about what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.

While gastroscopy is considered a safe procedure, there are minimal risks and potential complications, including bleeding, perforation (tear) of the digestive tract lining, and adverse reactions to sedation or anesthesia. These risks are rare and are typically outweighed by the benefits of the procedure in diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal conditions. Dr. Qureshi will discuss the potential risks and benefits with you beforehand and take appropriate measures to minimize any complications.
