A member asked:
Had a ugi and have stomach lining problems. getting treated. what are the chances of me getting another ugi to find out if the meds have worked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: But have to give meds/treatment adequate time before repeat study (say 6-12 months). May be done sooner if condition not improving or worsens. Insurance provider may also place limits on when/if repeat study is done. Discuss with treating doc. May prefer recheck with endoscopy.
