Painless Gastroscopy in China

Procedure: 20 min
Recommended stay: 2 days
Recovery: 1 days

A gastroscopy (upper endoscopy) examines the lining of your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum using a thin flexible scope with a camera. Performed under IV sedation, it is completely painless. Chinese gastroenterology centers use the latest endoscopy equipment — identical brands to top Western hospitals. Many international patients pair this with a colonoscopy for comprehensive preventative GI screening at a fraction of home country prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for a gastroscopy?
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure (no food or drink, including water). This ensures a clear view of your stomach lining. Specific instructions are provided based on your appointment time.
Can I do gastroscopy and colonoscopy together?
Definitely. The combined 'full GI checkup' is our most popular preventative screening package. Both are done under the same sedation session, taking about 40-50 minutes total.
