EARLY SYMPTOMS OF PEPTIC ULCERS

• Burning stomach pain
• Feeling of fullness, bloating or belching
• Intolerance to fatty foods
• Heartburn
• Nausea

Just having indigestion or heartburn after a meal doesn’t mean you have a peptic ulcer. However, if you feel these symptoms a lot, get in touch with professional. A screening appointment at Promed Endoscopy can help identify any other risk factors associated with peptic ulcers and provide you with a viable solution.

As peptic ulcers grow, you may experience more serious issues if they are left untrested. These include:

• Vomiting or vomiting blood which may appear red or black
• Dark blood in stools, or stools that are black or tarry
• A hole in your stomach wall
• Feeling faint
• Internal bleeding

Please consult your family physician for more information.

BASIC FACTS ABOUT FLEX SIGMOIDOSCOPY

Flex Sigmoidoscopy is commonly performed to explore possible causes of abdominal pain, re**al bleeding, changes in bowel habits, chronic diarrhea and other intestinal problems.

Sigmoidoscopy may occasionally be preferred over colonoscopy in cancer colon screening because the preparation for sigmoidoscopy and the test itself may take less time. In addition, an anaesthetist is often not required.

How long does it take?

A Flexible Sigmoidoscopy exam typically takes about 15 minutes. It may require slightly more time if biopsies are taken. Sedation and pain medications usually aren’t necessary. If a polyp is found, your doctor will likely recommend a full colonoscopy to look at your whole colon, as other polyps may be present further up in the colon.

Should you receive an endoscopy with Promed Endoscopy clinic, our staff will guide you on how to prepare for your procedure.

Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inside lining of your stomach and the upper portion of your small intestine. The most common symptom of a peptic ulcer is stomach pain.

What Causes Peptic Ulcers?

Peptic ulcer disease occurs when open sores form in the stomach or first part of the small intestine. Many cases of peptic ulcer disease develop because a bacterial infection eats away the protective lining of the digestive system. People who frequently take pain relievers are more likely to develop ulcers.

Factors leading to increased risk of Peptic Ulcers:

• Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a type of bacteria that can cause a stomach infection and inflammation
• Frequent use of aspirin (Bayer), ibuprofen (Advil), and other anti-inflammatory drugs (risk associated with this behavior increases
in women and people over the age of 60)
•. Smoking
• Drinking too much alcohol
•. Radiation therapy
•. Stomach cancer

Please consult your family physician for more information

WHAT IS FLEX SIGMOIDOSCOPY?

A Flexible Sigmoidoscopy is an exam used to evaluate the lower part of the large intestine (colon). During a flexible sigmoidoscopy exam, a thin, flexible tube with a tiny video camera is inserted into the a**s.

A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the colon and take pictures if needed for future reference. The tube is inserted into the sigmoid colon and most of the descending colon — just under 2 ft (about 50 centimeters) of the large intestine. If necessary, biopsies can be taken through the scope during a flexible sigmoidoscopy exam.

All You Need to Know about a Gastroscopy at Promed Endoscopy

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Your doctor will spray your throat with a local anaesthetic and give you a sedation to help you relax. You’ll then lie on your back, and a doctor will pass the tube through your mouth and into the esophagus, stomach and duodenum.

The tube doesn’t interfere with your breathing. Most patients consider the test not at all uncomfortable, and many patients fall asleep during the procedure as it is conducted under sedation.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

A gastroscopy usually takes about 10 minutes. However, you should allow at least 2 hours for the whole appointment to prepare, give time for the sedative to work (if you have one). A gastroscopy does not usually hurt, but it can be a little uncomfortable after the procedure.

HOW TO PREPARE?

Our team at Promed Endoscopy will get in touch with you before your procedure and inform you of all steps to take before your arrival and what steps to take after your procedure.
