Endoscopy Services at maAx Super Specialty Hospital, Shivamoga

Endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the digestive tract using a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera and light source. At maAx Super Speciality Hospital, endoscopy is performed to identify the cause of persistent or unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms and to support accurate clinical assessment.

The procedure allows doctors to directly visualise the inner lining of the oesophagus, stomach, and upper part of the intestine, helping detect conditions that may not be clearly identified through imaging tests alone.

When is Endoscopy Recommended?

Endoscopy may be advised when digestive symptoms persist, worsen, or remain unexplained despite initial treatment. Common indications include:

  • Persistent abdominal or stomach pain
  • Difficulty or pain while swallowing
  • Recurrent vomiting or nausea
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Blood in vomit or black stools
  • Suspected ulcers or gastritis
  • Abnormal findings on imaging or blood tests
  • Evaluation of anaemia due to gastrointestinal causes
  • Early endoscopic evaluation helps in identifying the cause and guiding appropriate medical care.
