Endoscopy is a nonsurgical procedure used to examine a person's digestive tract. Using an endoscope, a flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it, our doctor can view pictures of your digestive tract on a color TV monitor. Abbottabad Medical Complex recently added new equipment, including a video endoscopy platform with HD scopes and endoscopic ultrasound, to enhance the service for the most accurate diagnosis and disease stage information possible.
 

Doctors will often recommend endoscopy to evaluate:
 

• Stomach pain

• Ulcers, gastritis, or difficulty swallowing

• Digestive tract bleeding

• Changes in bowel habits (chronic constipation or diarrhea)

• Polyps or growths in the colon
 

In addition, this equipment has also been designed in a way in which it may also improve patient comfort during a procedure.
 

• Endoscopic Ultrasound – the most accurate imaging modality available for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancers and diseases

• Bronchoscopy/Navigational (3D) Bronchoscopy

• Colonoscopy

• Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

• Flexible Sigmoidoscopy

• PH and Manometer Studies

• Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy

• Upper Endoscopy (EGD, Gastroscopy)
 

Breast cancer can be:
 

• Ductal carcinoma: This begins in the milk duct and is the most common type.

• Lobular carcinoma: This starts in the lobules.

 

We screen at various convenient places across the region. The risk of breast cancer increases with age. That is why it is very important for all menopausal women to get regular mammograms.|
