How to prepare for FGDS

Preparation details should always be clarified during booking, but in general FGDS requires arriving on an empty stomach. Patients may also be asked to bring previous conclusions, referrals, or information about medicines they take regularly.

clarify how many hours before the examination you should not eat
ask whether you may drink water before the procedure
bring previous conclusions or referrals if available
inform the team about medicines you take regularly

How the examination usually goes

FGDS is usually performed in a dedicated room with endoscopic equipment. The medical team explains the basic steps, helps the patient prepare for the examination, and the doctor performs the procedure to assess the mucosa and gather the information needed for further care decisions.

Patients often search for a specific examination rather than the hospital name itself. A dedicated FGDS page gives a clear local point of reference, explains the basics in simple language, and shortens the path from search to hospital contact.
