Conventional Colonoscopy

Thorough Screening for Colorectal Health

A flexible tube with an installed camera is used in a conventional colonoscopy to give a clear, detailed image of your colon and rectum. This method allows doctors to not only spot abnormal growths but also remove polyps or take biopsies during the procedure if necessary.

Why Choose Conventional Colonoscopy?

• Highly Accurate: Helps detect even small or flat polyps that other methods might miss.
• Preventive: Polyps found can be removed right away, reducing the risk of colorectal cancer.
• ACS-Recommended: Especially for individuals aged 45 and older or those with a family history of colon cancer.
• Done by Experts: Performed by experienced gastroenterologists in a safe, sterile environment.

Gastroscopy (esophagogastroduodenoscopy)

A Clear View of the Upper GI Tract

Gastroscopy, sometimes referred to as upper endoscopy, aids medical professionals in examining your stomach, upper small intestine, and esophagus. In order to detect esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, ulcers, reflux, gastritis, and even early signs of stomach cancer, this procedure is vital.

What to Expect:

• Safe and Simple: Performed under light sedation for comfort.
• Quick Diagnosis: aids identify inflammation, infection, or structural problems.
• Tissue Sampling: If needed, biopsies can be taken during the procedure for further testing.
• Immediate Results: Doctors often share findings right after the exam.

Abdominal Ultrasound

Non-Invasive Check for Major Organs

The pancreas, kidneys, spleen, liver, gallbladder, and other organs can all be seen in real time with this straightforward yet effective test. It is helpful in identifying problems such as gallstones, fatty liver, or cysts before any symptoms show up.

Benefits:

• No Pain, No Radiation
• Quick and Reliable
• Ideal for Regular Health Monitoring

Cancer Marker Screening

Spot Cancer Risk Early On

Cancer markers are substances made by cancer cells or the body’s response to cancer. Testing for these markers can reveal warning signs early and guide further tests or treatment if needed.

Markers Included:

• CEA – Helpful in detecting colorectal cancer.
• CA 19-9 – Linked to pancreatic and bile duct cancers.
• CA-125 – Used mainly for ovarian cancer, but also relevant in some digestive cancers.
• AFP – Assists in identifying liver cancers and chronic liver diseases.
• PSA – A must-check for prostate health in male patients.

These tests work best when combined with physical exams, imaging, and endoscopic procedures, offering a fuller picture of your health.

Comprehensive Blood Tests

Understand Your Body From the Inside

Our Premium Gastro Checkup includes a wide range of blood tests to check your metabolic function, nutrition, and inflammation levels.

What We Check:

• Blood Sugar & Cholesterol: Glucose, HbA1c, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides
• Vitamin Levels: B12, D3
• Liver & Kidney Function: ALT, AST, Bilirubin, Creatinine, BUN
• Inflammation Markers: CRP, ESR
• Iron Studies: Ferritin, Iron, TIBC

These lab results help identify early warning signs of chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, liver issues, or vitamin deficiencies.

Preventive Screening for Digestive Cancers

Benign polyps that gradually develop into malignancy are frequently an early sign of colorectal cancer. Early detection through colonoscopy and cancer markers can stop this before it starts. Ultrasounds of the abdomen and gastroscopy also aid in early identification of pancreatic, liver, or stomach cancer. Your best defense is prevention, which is achieved through periodic checkups.
