Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1 What is an endoscopy and why do I need it?

An endoscopy is a safe, minimally invasive procedure where a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) is used to examine your upper digestive tract. Dr. Yashavanth H S recommends this to diagnose the cause of persistent heartburn, stomach pain, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained bleeding.

2 Is the endoscopy procedure painful?

The procedure is generally not painful. At our clinic in Nagarbhavi, we use a local anesthetic spray to numb your throat and often provide a mild sedative to help you stay relaxed and comfortable. Most patients feel only a slight pressure or bloating during the 15-minute process.

3 How should I prepare for my endoscopy appointment?

Preparation is simple but crucial. You must fast (no food or water) for at least 6 to 8 hours before the procedure to ensure a clear view of your stomach. Please inform Dr. Yashavanth about any medications you are taking, especially blood thinners or diabetic medications.

4 Can I drive home after the endoscopy?

If you receive sedation, you cannot drive for 24 hours as the medication affects your reflexes and judgment. We strictly require that a friend or family member accompanies you to the clinic to escort you home safely.

5 When will I get my endoscopy results?

Dr. Yashavanth will usually discuss the preliminary findings with you immediately after the procedure. However, if a biopsy (tissue sample) was taken, those results typically take 5 to 7 days to be processed by the lab.
