An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD test is used to examine the upper gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It is performed to investigate symptoms including severe heartburn, pain or difficulty in swallowing, chest pain, and others. It may also be ordered by a medical professional to diagnose conditions like GERD, peptic ulcers, gastritis, Barrett’s esophagus (a precancerous condition), esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus), or hiatal hernia. Furthermore, an EGD may be used to screen for early signs of esophageal, stomach, or duodenal cancers. In this article, we discuss the egd test cost in Singapore and explore other available options in Thailand.
