What conditions are diagnosed with an upper digestive tract endoscopy?

Some common conditions are diagnosed with endoscopy. If your doctor suspects that you have one of these conditions and you do not respond to treatment, they may order an endoscopy:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
  • H. Pylori (an infection that leads to stomach pain)
  • Gastric ulcer (a hole in the stomach wall that leads to pain and blood loss)
  • Gastritis (inflammation of the stomach)
  • Gastric obstruction (a blockage of your stomach that leads to vomiting)
