Capsule Endoscopy in Indore

Capsule Endoscopy in Indore

Capsule endoscopy is a modern, non-invasive diagnostic procedure that allows detailed examination of the small intestine, an area that traditional endoscopy cannot easily reach. The patient swallows a small, pill-sized capsule that contains a tiny wireless camera. As it naturally travels through the digestive tract, it captures thousands of images that are transmitted to a recording device worn by the patient. These images are then analyzed by the specialist to identify any abnormalities within the small intestine.

When is Capsule Endoscopy Recommended

• Unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding that has not been identified by standard endoscopy or colonoscopy
• Suspected Crohn’s disease or inflammatory conditions of the small intestine
• Chronic abdominal pain or diarrhea without a clear diagnosis
• Detection of small intestinal polyps or tumors
• Monitoring of known small bowel conditions 

The Procedure

The process is straightforward and comfortable. The patient swallows the capsule with water, after which it travels naturally through the digestive system over several hours. The patient can move freely during this time. Once the capsule passes out of the body naturally, the recorded images are downloaded and reviewed for a comprehensive diagnosis.
