Through our partnership with EndoCare and Doctor At Home, we offer a comprehensive and specialized endoscopy and colonoscopy service in Guadalajara, with a medical center located in the colonia Americana. These procedures are essential for both diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal diseases, performed by highly skilled specialists using advanced technology for safety and precision.
What are Endoscopy and Colonoscopy? Overview and Differences
- Endoscopy: Also known as panendoscopy, this procedure examines the esophagus, stomach, and the initial part of the small intestine, helping to detect ulcers, reflux, esophagitis, and other issues in the upper digestive tract.
- Colonoscopy: This procedure examines the large intestine and the end of the small intestine, allowing for the detection of polyps, colon cancer, colitis, and other colon and rectum conditions.
Both procedures involve inserting a flexible tube with a camera, allowing the doctor to observe the inner walls of the digestive system in real-time and perform minor interventions if needed.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Uses of Endoscopy and Colonoscopy
- Diagnosis: Endoscopy and colonoscopy allow for the identification of multiple health issues, such as ulcers, polyps, inflammation, or even early-stage cancer.
- Treatment: Therapeutic procedures, such as polypectomy (polyp removal), can be performed during these procedures as a preventive measure against cancer. In endoscopy, polypectomy has an additional cost of 1000 pesos, while in colonoscopy it is 1500 pesos.
Procedure Costs and Additional Services
At EndoCare Guadalajara, prices for these procedures are as follows:
- Endoscopy: 6000 pesos
- Colonoscopy: 6500 pesos
If pathology studies are required, they incur an additional 700 pesos. This is especially useful for confirming or ruling out any microscopic diagnoses.
Preparation for Endoscopy and Colonoscopy
Both procedures require prior preparation to ensure accurate results:
- Endoscopy: Requires fasting for at least 8 hours before the procedure.
- Colonoscopy: Involves a liquid diet the day before and taking laxatives according to medical instructions.
