An upper GI endoscopy with biopsy is a procedure where a doctor uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to look inside your esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine, and takes small tissue samples for testing. Your doctor might recommend this procedure if you have symptoms like persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or to check for conditions like ulcers or infections. You'll receive sedation to help you relax, the tube will be gently passed down your throat, and the procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes, after which you'll need someone to drive you home due to the sedation.
