A member asked:
At which point would you recommend a endoscopy? have what my recurring stomach pains which my doctor says is an ulcer
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Referal: An upper endoscopy is used to diagnose &, sometimes, to treat conditions which affect the upper part of your digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach & the beginning of the small intestine. I strongly encourage you to see a gastroenterologist to evaluate your condition & to determine if you should have an endoscopy done.
