Vlog with me Ep.5 - Endoscopy Unit (gastroscopy and colonoscopy)

We are visiting the Hospital's Endoscopy Unit this time round. The Endoscopy Unit is where our doctor conduct the gastroscopy (upper part of the body) and colonoscopy (lower part of the body). In this episode of Vlog With Me, you'll get to watch and learn how a gastroscopy and colonoscopy is carried out.
Both gastroscopy and colonoscopy help to detect and remove polyps before they turn cancerous. Call our Endoscopy Unit at 04-2227669 to make an appointment today and get yourself screened.

[@roiberadcnoic5862]

I've to go for this procedure on the 18th of this month thanks for uploading this video

[@chascarpenter5006]

Cut the music out & can hear what they say.

[@amandasmith3303]

I have had a colonoscopy.The prep is the worst.The actual procedure i had sedation.I was aware of some of the procedure but quite detatched from it.

[@francishubertovasquez2139]

No offense meant just delving on the deeper symbolics, are upper GI series and lower GI series are the gays of the upper and lower categories implied in procedure. Your procedure presentation well explained suited for medical tourism.

[@HanaMarshmallows]

Fingers crossed y’all

[@mohammadace5874]

Is it government Hospital? Adress if you don't mind. It seems not pain

[@najibla]

Why the loud music??

[@miashohag6558]

where it

[@francishubertovasquez2139]

The black scope in colonoscopy reminds me of the science made dark liquid material invented by China able to patch up on something, crawl or reshape in an object, etc. Then what if it takes the form or worm like thing with camera sensors upfront used for spying.

I had endoscopy and colonoscopy.same time first endoscopy then colonoscopy..... endoscopy was ok but colonoscopy was very painful..bcz my bowel is redundant tortus with sigmoid colon loops 😢

[@glorisgonzalez.detodounpoc2934]

😢😢 Sorry to hear that the 16 i have both il very scare any recomendations for not be so scare of this.

[@MsSony12345]

The music is too loud...can't hear her talk

[@tomburns2642]

Keep in mind that sedation is OPTIONAL.

[@user-sm6lt9mf9t]

Why would you really want to do it without? The upper especially would have you gagging like crazy. I know I was towards the end when my drugs wore off earlier than they should have.

[@tomburns2642]

@@user-sm6lt9mf9t That was not my experience. Neither upper nor lower amounted to more than just a bit of fleeting discomfort. Why would you want drugs in your body for every little ache and pain? More importantly, though, to each his own! If it suits you to take drugs, then go right ahead just refrain from giving blanket advice that does not apply to everyone.

[@amandasmith3303]

I had sedation for my colonoscopy and advised to have it.For a gastroscopy throat numbing spray or sedation wouldn't do,I would need to be put right out.

[@tomburns2642]

@@amandasmith3303 It seems that it is a personal choice. Some of us choose sedation-free and others do not. The patient is the only person on that table at that moment, so whatever works for them
is fine.

[@stephenpiccioni7098]

if your having both done endoscopy/colonoscopy get a laugh out of the doc tell him do the upper first please

[@melody3302]

​@@venomx4093bro does it pain alot? And what were the symptoms that u had to go and do an endoscopy?

[@venomx4093]

@@blogical4320 No it didn't hurt. I was awake, but sedated. I had a lot of upper gastro issues. Acid reflux, gut pains, loud stomach growling non stop.

[@Myraaaaaa]
