Upper and lower GI endoscopy

​

Dr. Raza offers diagnostic upper and lower GI endoscopy procedures. The procedures alone can usually diagnose or exclude a serious problem within the stomach or bowel in a very short space of time. In addition an endoscopic examination of the large bowel can detect colonic polyps which can be asymptomatic but if left untreated can develop into bowel cancer. Dr. Raza will usually be able to treat colonic polyps at the time of your procedure.

​

A further advantage of Dr. Raza's service is that he can offer rubber-band treatment of haemorrhoids at the same time as performing your lower GI endoscopy. This procedure, which is not performed by all endoscopists, can treat rectal bleeding caused by haemorrhoids without needing a formal operation.

 

Dr. Raza is happy to discuss your individual problem and the full range of management options that can be made available.
