Endoscopy is a procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of the body using a flexible tube with a light and camera. There are various types of endoscopy based on the area being examined:
- Gastroscopy: Views the stomach and upper digestive tract. - Colonoscopy: Examines the colon and rectum. - Bronchoscopy: Looks into the airways and lungs.
Endoscopy is used to detect abnormalities, take biopsies, and sometimes perform treatments.
