What is a egd

Is it going to hurt

An esophagogastroduodenoscopy (also called EGD or upper endoscopy) is a procedure that allows the doctor to examine the inside of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. A thin, flexible, lighted tube, called an endoscope, is guided into the mouth and throat, then into the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.

A local anesthetic should prevent pain, but I wouldn’t expect it to be comfortable. It’s simple, low risk stuff, so no need to worry.

@Wolfgirl567 Even better. Not for nothing, but egd sedation is actually pretty nice with no after effects.
