Endoscopy

Endoscopy Services at Health Nest Hospital, Bangalore

Health Nest Hospital in Bangalore offers expert endoscopy services to diagnose and manage various gastrointestinal (GI) and digestive disorders. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible tube with a light and camera (endoscope) to examine the inside of your digestive tract. It allows our specialists to detect ulcers, infections, inflammation, tumors, and other abnormalities.

Our hospital is equipped with advanced endoscopy equipment and a team of experienced gastroenterologists to ensure safe, accurate, and comfortable procedures. We offer both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies with minimal downtime and personalized patient care.

• Colonoscopy: Evaluates the large intestine (colon) and rectum to detect polyps, colorectal cancer, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
• Sigmoidoscopy: Focuses on the sigmoid colon to identify rectal bleeding, chronic diarrhea, or bowel changes.
