Capsule Endoscopy Services at Gastropedia Noida

What is Capsule Endoscopy?

Capsule endoscopy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to visualize the small intestine, which is difficult to reach with traditional endoscopy methods. This procedure involves swallowing a small, pill-sized camera that captures thousands of images as it travels through your digestive tract, providing detailed views of the small intestine’s lining.

If you are experiencing symptoms related to your small intestine or have been advised to undergo a capsule endoscopy, contact Gastropedia Noida today. Our friendly staff is here to answer your questions and schedule your consultation.

The Capsule Endoscopy Procedure

The capsule endoscopy procedure involves the following steps:

  • Preparation: Patients are given specific instructions, including fasting for several hours before the procedure.
  • Swallowing the Capsule: The patient swallows a small, vitamin-sized capsule containing a camera.
  • Monitoring: The capsule travels through the digestive tract, capturing images that are transmitted to a recorder worn by the patient.
  • Completion: After approximately 8 hours, the procedure is complete, and the patient can resume normal activities. The capsule is naturally excreted and does not need to be retrieved.
  • Image Analysis: The images are downloaded and analyzed by our specialists to diagnose any abnormalities or conditions.
