Is my chronic acidity, bloating, or unexplained weight loss caused by an upper GI condition needing direct visualization?
Best for
Adults with chronic acidity, bloating, GI-related family history, or anyone 45+ due for a first screening endoscopy.
Time at centre: ~2–3 hrs incl. recoveryPreparation: 8–10 hrs fasting, sedationReport: Endoscopy same-day; biopsy 3–5 daysBooking: Appointment + pre-procedure clearanceCollection: Procedure at centre only
What's included
Upper GI Endoscopy — Gastroenterologist-performed under sedation, direct visualization
Colonoscopy (± add-on) — Available as an add-on if clinically indicated
H. Pylori Test — Screens for the bacterium linked to ulcers and gastritis
LFT, USG Abdomen — Liver function and abdominal organ imaging
What normal doesn't rule out
the presence of every GI condition — some conditions (e.g. certain motility disorders) need specialized testing beyond endoscopy.
Not included
Colonoscopy (available as a separate add-on)
Biopsy pathology beyond standard processing (discussed if a biopsy is taken)
Not the right fit if
you have acute severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, or black stools — that needs emergency care, not a scheduled procedure booking.
Preparation
Preparation: 8–10 hours fasting is mandatory before the procedure. Blood-thinning medications may need to be paused — discuss with your doctor and Truscan's team before booking. An escort is required, as you cannot drive after sedation. || Collection & eligibility: This is acentre-only procedure— no home service applies. Requires pre-procedure clinical clearance and consent. Appointment-based, call ahead.
Result pathway
Normal
Discuss ongoing symptom management with your physician
Borderline
Consider a colonoscopy add-on, or targeted follow-up based on findings
Abnormal
Biopsy results and findings discussed with your gastroenterologist
Urgent
Truscan's clinical team follows up per internal escalation protocol
Clinically relevant
Add-ons matched to this package — not “frequently bought”.
Strongly relevant: Colonoscopy add-on — worth discussing if you're 45+ or have a family history of colorectal conditions
Sometimes relevant: F1 organ-function panel — general baseline if not done recently
If you want more coverage
This is a day-care procedure — sedation, recovery bay, and a separate booking flow from routine diagnostics. Requires pre-procedure clearance and a fasting period beforehand.
The gastroenterologist performing your procedure will discuss findings directly — this is built into the procedure itself, not a separate add-on consult.
