Frequently asked questions
An upper endoscopy, or EGD, is a procedure that allows a doctor to examine the lining of your esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum) using a flexible tube with a camera.
It helps diagnose and sometimes treat conditions like acid reflux, ulcers, inflammation, celiac disease, tumors, or bleeding in the upper digestive tract.
The actual procedure typically takes about 15–30 minutes. However, you should plan for a few hours total, including prep and recovery time.
