How can a hiatal hernia be diagnosed? can a endoscopy detect it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lot's of people...: ...have hiatal hernias, whether detected either by x-ray or endoscopy. Most are sliding type & appear intermittently, requiring no intervention especially when small. Please call your doctor & ask him/her your question to get a most accurate response re: hernia size as well its reducibility. Some hiatal hernias, like large paraesophageal ones, carry potentially great concern.
