Early Detection. Accurate Diagnosis. Better Digestive Health.
Digestive health plays a crucial role in your overall well-being. At WellMed
Hospitals, Gurugram, we provide advanced endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures that help in early
diagnosis, accurate treatment, and prevention of serious gastrointestinal diseases.
What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a non-surgical diagnostic procedure used to examine the upper
digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, and beginning of the small intestine). A thin, flexible tube with
a camera is gently inserted through the mouth to visualize internal organs in real-time.
Common Reasons for Endoscopy

- Difficulty in swallowing
- Chronic abdominal pain
- Nausea or vomiting
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Suspected ulcers or infections
What is Colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy is a procedure used to examine the large intestine (colon) and
rectum. It helps detect abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation, ulcers, or cancer.
Common Reasons for Colonoscopy
