What is endoscopy and how is it done?
During endoscopy, an endoscope camera is inserted inside the body through the throat, anus or urinary tract, keeping in mind the disease in the body to be investigated. Before this, that part of the body is numbed through spray or anesthesia. This camera is very small and the patient does not have any pain or any kind of problem. Therefore, usually the patient is not even sedated during endoscopy.

Endoscopy is done within about an hour. Before this, the doctor can tell the avoidance of some things and may advise to take some medicines. It depends on which organ through which your endoscopy is to be done.

So that the intestine and anal passage are completely cleared and the required result of endoscopy can be obtained.
