What are Endoscopy & Colonoscopy?

Endoscopy and Colonoscopy are diagnostic procedures that allow doctors to examine different parts of the digestive tract using a flexible tube equipped with a tiny camera and light.

Upper Endoscopy (Gastroscopy) examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine to investigate symptoms such as persistent heartburn, abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, nausea, or gastrointestinal bleeding.

Colonoscopy examines the rectum and colon to identify conditions such as polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, unexplained bleeding, chronic diarrhea, or colorectal cancer.

At Horizon Hospital, our experienced gastroenterologists perform these procedures using advanced endoscopic technology, ensuring accurate diagnosis, patient comfort, and personalized digestive care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between endoscopy and colonoscopy?

Endoscopy examines the upper digestive tract, while colonoscopy examines the colon and rectum.

Why might I need an endoscopy?

Your doctor may recommend an endoscopy to investigate symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing.

Why is a colonoscopy performed?

A colonoscopy helps diagnose bowel disorders, investigate rectal bleeding, detect polyps, and screen for colorectal cancer.

Are these procedures painful?

Most patients experience little or no discomfort. Sedation may be used to improve comfort during the procedure.

How long do the procedures take?

Most endoscopy procedures take 15–30 minutes, while colonoscopy usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the findings.

Do I need to prepare before the procedure?

Yes. Endoscopy usually requires fasting, while colonoscopy requires bowel preparation according to your doctor's instructions.

Can biopsies be taken during the procedure?

Yes. If necessary, your doctor may collect small tissue samples for laboratory analysis.

When can I return home?

Most patients return home on the same day after a short recovery period. If sedation is used, you should arrange for someone to accompany you home.

Are endoscopy and colonoscopy safe?

These are commonly performed procedures with a strong safety profile when carried out by experienced specialists.

When should I schedule an endoscopy or colonoscopy?

If you have persistent digestive symptoms, unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, abnormal imaging results, or a family history of colorectal cancer, consult your doctor about whether one of these procedures is appropriate.
