At VRX Healthcare, an endoscopy test in Mumbai helps doctors find the cause of ongoing acidity, stomach pain, difficulty swallowing and other digestive problems. The test uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to examine the food pipe, stomach and upper small intestine. Led by Dr. Rushil Solanki, VRX Healthcare offers endoscopy in Mumbai at its Goregaon West, Kandivali East and Kandivali West centres, with prices starting from ₹3,000 and sedation options available for patient comfort.
An upper GI endoscopy, also known as gastroscopy, is a test that helps doctors examine the food pipe, stomach and first part of the small intestine. It is usually recommended for people experiencing frequent acidity, heartburn, difficulty swallowing, stomach pain, repeated vomiting or black stools. During the procedure, a gastroenterologist uses a thin, flexible tube with a small camera to look inside the digestive system. The test helps identify problems such as ulcers, inflammation and other digestive conditions. If needed, the doctor may also collect a small tissue sample (biopsy) for further testing.
At VRX Healthcare, patients looking for an endoscopy test in Mumbai can receive specialist care and guidance throughout the procedure. The centre offers endoscopy in Mumbai at Goregaon West, Kandivali East and Kandivali West. Patients searching for an endoscopy test in Goregaon West can visit VRX Healthcare for an evaluation of their digestive symptoms. Under the guidance of Dr. Rushil Solanki, the team provides clear fasting instructions, a numbing throat spray, sedation options when suitable and post-test guidance to help patients feel informed and comfortable.
An upper GI endoscopy checks the lining of the food pipe, stomach and duodenum for ulcers, inflammation, infection, bleeding points, narrowing, swollen veins and early abnormal changes. It is advised when symptoms such as acidity, swallowing trouble, stomach pain or vomiting do not settle with routine treatment, when there are warning signs such as black stools, vomiting of blood, anaemia or weight loss, and for planned follow-up of known conditions such as Barrett’s oesophagus or varices in liver disease. At VRX Healthcare it is done with a numbing throat spray, with sedation available, led by Dr. Rushil Solanki at all three of our centres. For liver, bowel and other digestive problems, our Gastroenterology & Hepatology department covers the full picture.
Doctors advise an upper GI endoscopy to find the cause of upper digestive symptoms, to confirm or rule out ulcers and infection, or to keep a check on a known condition. These are the most common reasons patients come to us.
Reflux that keeps coming back or does not settle with medicines
Food feeling stuck or hurting on the way down
Ongoing pain, fullness or burning in the upper abdomen
Repeated vomiting without a clear cause
Signs of bleeding from the food pipe, stomach or duodenum
Low iron or weight loss can point to a hidden ulcer or bleeding
Confirming an ulcer and testing for infection with a biopsy
Planned checks for Barrett’s oesophagus or varices in liver disease
Get a clear answer from a specialist at our Goregaon West centre, or at Kandivali East and Kandivali West. Most causes of acidity, ulcers and swallowing trouble are treatable once the cause is known.
Many stomach and food-pipe problems feel like ordinary acidity in the early stages. A timely endoscopy turns guesswork into a clear answer.
Acidity, pain and swallowing trouble have many causes. A direct view of the lining replaces guesswork.
Ulcers and H. pylori infection can be seen and tested in the same sitting, so treatment starts on firm ground.
A numbing throat spray is standard, and monitored sedation is available if you would rather rest through it.
Biopsy, polyp removal, banding of swollen veins and control of bleeding can all be done during the procedure.
The procedure takes 10 to 20 minutes and you go home the same day, usually within an hour or two.
One procedure that can both find the problem and, in many cases, treat it in the same sitting, with the comfort options that make it easier.
A careful look at the food pipe, stomach and duodenum to find the cause of acidity, pain, swallowing trouble or vomiting.
A small tissue sample taken during the procedure to test for H. pylori, celiac disease, ulcers or other changes.
Small polyps in the stomach or food pipe can be removed during the same procedure and sent for testing.
Band ligation of swollen veins (varices) and clips or injection to stop bleeding, often needed in liver disease.
A numbing throat spray as standard, with monitored sedation available if you prefer to sleep through the procedure.
At VRX Healthcare, endoscopy in Mumbai starts from ₹3,000. The final amount depends on whether it is a diagnostic or therapeutic endoscopy, whether you choose throat spray or sedation, and whether a biopsy, polyp removal or banding is needed. Your exact cost is shared at consultation, before the procedure, with no hidden charges.
Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy are priced differently
Sedation adds anaesthesia and monitoring charges
A tissue sample adds a laboratory charge
Added only when a polyp is removed or varices are banded
The assessment with Dr. Solanki before the procedure
Dr. Rushil Solanki is a Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist with a DM in Gastroenterology and MRCP (UK). He leads upper GI endoscopy services across our Goregaon West, Kandivali East and Kandivali West centres, with a focus on a careful examination, your comfort during the procedure and explaining every finding in plain language, so you leave knowing exactly what was seen and what happens next.
The procedure itself usually takes 10 to 20 minutes. Plan for 1 to 2 hours at the centre, including checks before and recovery after, a little longer if you choose sedation.
Dr. Solanki reviews your symptoms, history and medicines, including blood thinners and diabetes tablets.
Nothing to eat for at least 6 hours before the test, and only small sips of water as advised, so the stomach is empty for a clear view.
A numbing spray is applied to the throat. If you have chosen sedation, it is given and you are monitored throughout.
A thin, flexible endoscope is passed through the mouth to examine the food pipe, stomach and duodenum in 10 to 20 minutes; a biopsy, polyp removal or banding is done then, if needed.
You rest for a short while, the doctor explains what was seen, and you go home the same day. Eat only once the throat numbness has worn off.
Specialist expertise, comfort options and clear pricing at centres close to home.
