What is Endoscopy?

Looking inside the body, directly

An endoscopy is a procedure used to look inside the body. It uses an instrument with a camera to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity — unlike many other imaging techniques, endoscopes are inserted directly into the organ, through the mouth or anus.

There are many types of endoscopy, depending on the site in the body and the type of procedure. It can be used to examine the upper or lower part of the gastrointestinal tract.

Obesity as a modifiable risk factor

Obesity, as defined by the World Health Organization, is a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher. It's more than a cosmetic issue — it's a medical condition that increases the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and is a recognised risk factor for breast cancer.

We believe obesity is a modifiable risk factor, and with the right management, it doesn't have to negatively impact your health.
