Understanding Digestive Endoscopy
Digestive endoscopy is a minimally invasive medical technique that allows direct visualization of the digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and colon).
This procedure enables specialists to detect conditions such as inflammation, ulcers, polyps, or early signs of cancer accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions about Digestive Endoscopy in Marbella
What is a digestive endoscopy and what is it used for?
Digestive endoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of the digestive tract using a flexible tube with a camera.
It is used to diagnose conditions such as gastritis, ulcers, reflux, polyps, or even stomach and colon cancer in early stages. It can also be used therapeutically to remove polyps, stop bleeding, or extract foreign objects.
Is the digestive endoscopy procedure painful?
No, the procedure is not painful. In most cases, it is performed under conscious sedation, which allows the patient to remain relaxed and comfortable throughout the examination. This technique makes the procedure safe and painless.
How long does the procedure take and how should I prepare?
The procedure usually lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the area being explored (upper or lower digestive tract).
For upper endoscopy, you must fast for 6–8 hours. For colonoscopy, bowel preparation is required the day before. Your specialist will provide detailed instructions.
What are the risks of digestive endoscopy?
Digestive endoscopy is a very safe procedure, with complications being extremely rare. In exceptional cases, a small injury or bleeding may occur, especially if biopsies or treatments are performed.
For your safety, it is always carried out under the supervision of experienced medical staff and with continuous monitoring.
How often should I undergo endoscopy if I have a family history of gastric or colon cancer?
The frequency depends on each case and the type of family history. In general, a preventive colonoscopy is recommended from the age of 50, or earlier if risk factors exist.
In patients with a family history of gastric or colon cancer, check-ups are usually recommended every 2–5 years. Your doctor will determine the appropriate schedule for you.
