Private endoscopies
In endoscopies the digestive tract is examined with a thin, flexible endoscope: in a gastroscopy from above through the mouth, in a colonoscopy the large intestine through the anus. Both need preparation, and biopsies can be taken at the same time.

Endoscopies
You come to a gastroscopy without eating. For a colonoscopy the bowel is emptied with a laxative. If you get a sedative, you must not drive that day.
The procedure is usually done by a gastroenterologist or surgeon, often after a gastroenterologist's or general practitioner's appointment.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a private endoscopy without a referral?
Some providers accept self-paying patients, but often you first see a gastroenterologist or general practitioner.
