A member asked:
When should you ask for an endoscopy ultrasound to see if something is wrong with the tail of the pancreas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endoscopy: If you or your doctor has noticed abdominal discomfort you need a full physical exam, lab work, and likely imaging. If your doctor finds no issue on exam or no abnormal blood work, relax a bit and follow up regularly.
