Throat Endoscopy<\/h2>\n

---

\n

Endoscopy is a test that\u00a0an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist uses to look at the back of your throat.<\/p>\n

An endoscope is a long, flexible tube. It has a camera and light at one end, and an eyepiece at the other. Your doctor uses it to see the inside of your nose and throat very clearly.<\/p>\n

Preparing for your test<\/h2>\n

---

\n

You might\u00a0have a blood test 2 days beforehand\u00a0to check how well your blood clots.<\/p>\n

Tell your doctor if you’re taking medicine that changes how your blood clots. This includes:<\/p>\n

\n
• aspirin<\/li>\n
• clopidogrel<\/li>\n
• arthritis medicines<\/li>\n
• warfarin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Your doctor tells you if you need to stop taking any other medicines.<\/p>\n

  You can’t eat for 6 to 8 hours before the test but you might be able to drink sips of water up to 2 hours before your appointment. Your doctor or nurse gives you written instructions about this beforehand.<\/p>\n

  Talk to your doctor if not eating could be a problem for you.\u00a0For example, if you have diabetes.<\/p>\n

  How you have it<\/h2>\n

  ---

  \n

  Usually you have an endoscopy in hospital as an outpatient. A doctor or a specialist nurse (endoscopist) does the test. A nurse stays with you when you have it. The test usually takes less than 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

  When you arrive at the clinic, the staff might ask you to take your upper clothing off and put on a hospital gown.<\/p>\n

  You might have the test while you’re awake but you can choose to have a medicine to make you drowsy\u00a0(a sedative).<\/p>\n

  What happens<\/h2>\n

  ---

  \n

  You lie down on the couch and have an injection of the sedative. It takes a few minutes for you to become sleepy.<\/p>\n

  Then the endoscopist passes the endoscope down your throat into your food pipe. The tube has an ultrasound probe. This uses sound waves to build up a picture so your doctor can see the food pipe, stomach and surrounding areas. They might also be able to see if the nearby lymph nodes are swollen (enlarged).<\/p>\n

  The endoscopist gently removes the tube.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
