Frequently asked questions

Doctor Consultation Desk

Colonoscopía

¿Qué es una endoscopia?
Una endoscopia superior, también llamada esofagogastroduodenoscopia o EGD, es un procedimiento que nos permite ver el revestimiento mucoso del tracto intestinal superior, que incluye el esófago, el estómago y el duodeno.
 

¿Por qué se necesitaría una endoscopia?
El Dr. Aviles y el Dr. Tenembaum utilizan la endoscopia superior para evaluar síntomas de dolor abdominal, reflujo ácido, acidez estomacal, dolor abdominal, dolor en el pecho, dificultad para tragar, náuseas, vómitos y sangrado, así como las causas de la anemia. Una EGD puede detectar inflamaciones, infecciones, tumores, úlceras y anomalías anatómicas como hernias y obstrucciones.
