Endoscopy information and locations in Mexico
With the use of an endoscopy, gastroenterologists can do minimally invasive procedures on the esophagus, stomach, intestines, bile duct, rectum, and anus to diagnose uncommon symptoms, confirm a diagnosis, and locate the source of the symptoms.
Endoscopies are performed by a gastroenterologist or general surgeon with a two year fellowship
in digestive endoscopy. During the procedure, the endoscopist passes through the mouth or rectum
a thin-flexible tube with a light and a camera attached that allows seeing images of the
digestive tract. If something is found, the specialist can take a biopsy or treat it at the same
time.

Gastritis
Gastritis, an irritation or inflammation of the stomach's lining, is typically caused by alcohol, stress, medications, infections, bile reflux, or Helicobacter pylori (bacteria). An upper endoscopy, in which the endoscopist (gastroenterologist) inserts the endoscope into the mouth to see the stomach lining, is used to detect gastritis.

A G-tube is recommended for newborns with birth defects of the esophagus or for patients who can’t swallow or can’t take enough nutrients from food.
