Manometry Services at Gastropedia Noida

Manometry is a diagnostic procedure used to measure the pressure and muscle contractions in the esophagus or other parts of the digestive tract. This test helps evaluate how well the muscles of the digestive tract are working, which is crucial for diagnosing motility disorders such as achalasia, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and other esophageal motility disorders.

Diagnosing Motility Disorders Identifies conditions where the muscles of the digestive tract are not functioning correctly

Our Manometry Services

At Gastropedia Noida, we offer comprehensive manometry services performed by experienced gastroenterologists using state-of-the-art equipment. Our goal is to provide accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans based on detailed pressure measurements and muscle function assessments.

Why is Manometry Important?

The manometry procedure involves the following steps:

  • Preparation: Patients are given specific instructions, including fasting for several hours before the procedure.
  • Catheter Insertion: A thin, flexible tube (catheter) with pressure sensors is inserted through the nose (for esophageal manometry) or rectum (for anorectal manometry) into the area to be examined.
  • Pressure Measurement: The catheter measures muscle contractions and pressure as the patient swallows (for esophageal manometry) or performs specific maneuvers (for anorectal manometry).
  • Completion: The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes. After the test, the catheter is removed, and patients can resume normal activities.
