Endoscope is used to help check what kind of disease

Patient's question:

Endoscopy examination

Doctor's answer:

Hello:
The initial endoscopic examination used a relatively rigid instrument called a rigid scope, which some people described as feeling like "a stick being inserted." Now, however, a flexible, bendable, and easy-to-operate fiber-optic endoscope made of glass fiber is primarily used. Modern endoscopes are equipped with a lighting device, allowing direct observation with the naked eye. Additionally, the angle at the front end of the endoscope can be adjusted, and it is also equipped with devices capable of taking photos, collecting samples, and other functions.
