Why consider treatment in India?

Many international patients consider India for peptic ulcer disease treatment for several reasons, including:

More affordable estimates

Competitive indicative costs compared with many other countries, for similar clinical standards.

Internationally accredited hospitals

Hospitals experienced in treating international patients.

Experienced specialists

Doctors who regularly manage similar cases.

Care coordination support

A team to help with planning, medical translation and follow-up.

About the Procedure

What is Endoscopic Hemostasis?

Endoscopic hemostasis is a minimally invasive procedure performed during an upper GI endoscopy to stop active bleeding from a peptic ulcer or to reduce the risk of re-bleeding from a high-risk lesion. It uses techniques such as injection therapy, thermal coagulation, or mechanical clipping applied directly through the endoscope. This procedure is typically performed as an emergency or urgent intervention to avoid surgery and stabilize the patient quickly.

Who may be considered?

Endoscopic Hemostasis may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.

How does it work?

A diluted epinephrine or sclerosant solution is injected around the bleeding ulcer to constrict blood vessels and control hemorrhage.

3 approaches available for this procedure:

Injection Therapy (Epinephrine/Sclerosant)

Most Common First-Line

A diluted epinephrine or sclerosant solution is injected around the bleeding ulcer to constrict blood vessels and control hemorrhage.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: $150 - $350

CBC, coagulation profile (PT/INR, aPTT), liver function tests, blood grouping and crossmatch, ECG, upper GI endoscopy assessment

Treatment / Procedure Estimate

Estimated cost in India: $800 - $1,800

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: ~1-2 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~5-7 days recommended
Total stay: approx 7-9 days

Usually Included in Hospital Package

  • Endoscopy suite and equipment charges
  • Sedation/anesthesia support
  • Physician and nursing fees
  • Standard room stay for observation
  • Post-procedure monitoring

Usually Not Included

  • Blood transfusion if required
  • ICU stay in case of complications
  • Repeat endoscopy for re-bleeding
  • Medications and PPIs after discharge
  • International travel and accommodation

Recovery and follow-up

Most patients are monitored in hospital for 1-3 days after the procedure to ensure bleeding has stopped, followed by a gradual return to a normal diet and proton pump inhibitor therapy for ulcer healing. A follow-up endoscopy may be recommended within 6-8 weeks to confirm ulcer resolution.

Risks

Potential risks include re-bleeding requiring repeat endoscopy or surgery, perforation of the stomach or duodenum, aspiration, and reactions to sedation. Overall complication rates are low when the procedure is performed by an experienced endoscopist.

Alternatives

If endoscopic hemostasis fails or bleeding recurs, alternatives include interventional radiology with transcatheter arterial embolization or emergency surgical repair of the ulcer. Medical management with high-dose PPIs alone may be considered for low-risk, stable ulcers without active bleeding.

What we need to prepare a formal estimate

Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.

Reports required

  • Recent upper GI endoscopy report (if available)
  • Complete blood count (CBC)
  • Coagulation profile (PT/INR, aPTT)
  • Liver and renal function tests
  • Blood group and crossmatch report
  • ECG report
  • History of NSAID/anticoagulant use
  • Any prior imaging (CT/ultrasound abdomen)

Patient information needed

  • Age and current weight/height
  • History of peptic ulcer disease or prior GI bleeding
  • Current medications, especially blood thinners or NSAIDs
  • Presence of symptoms like vomiting blood or black stools
  • Known comorbidities (heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease)
  • Any allergy history, especially to sedatives
  • Previous endoscopy or GI surgery details
  • Emergency contact and insurance/payment details

Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.

Common questions

FAQs about Endoscopic Hemostasis in Bengaluru, India

What is Peptic Ulcer Disease?
Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which the protective mucosal lining of the stomach or duodenum breaks down, forming painful sores or ulcers that expose underlying tissue to stomach acid. It is most frequently associated with H. pylori infection or prolonged NSAID use, though other factors can also contribute.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Peptic Ulcer Disease?
Common symptoms include a burning or gnawing pain in the upper abdomen that may improve or worsen with eating, nausea, bloating, and a feeling of fullness; in more serious cases, individuals may notice dark or tarry stools, vomiting blood, or unexplained weight loss, which can indicate bleeding or other complications. Some people with peptic ulcers experience minimal or no symptoms at all, particularly when ulcers are related to NSAID use. It is important to note that these symptoms overlap with several other digestive conditions, and symptoms alone are not sufficient to establish a diagnosis.
How is Peptic Ulcer Disease diagnosed?
Diagnosis is typically confirmed through upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (gastroscopy), which allows a gastroenterologist to directly visualise the ulcer, assess its size and depth, take tissue biopsies if malignancy is a concern, and test for H. pylori infection. Non-endoscopic H. pylori testing (breath tests, stool antigen tests, or serology) and upper GI contrast studies may also be used in certain clinical contexts. Ulcers identified as bleeding are further classified using the Forrest classification system, which grades bleeding severity and helps guide decisions about endoscopic intervention.
How is Peptic Ulcer Disease treated?
Treatment approach depends on the underlying cause, ulcer severity, and whether complications such as active bleeding or perforation are present. The majority of uncomplicated peptic ulcers are managed successfully without procedures, using a combination of acid-suppressing medications and, where H. pylori is confirmed, antibiotic eradication therapy. When bleeding is identified endoscopically, endoscopic hemostasis techniques — such as injection therapy, thermal coagulation, or clip application — are performed during the same upper GI endoscopy procedure; surgical intervention is reserved for cases where endoscopic control is not achievable or perforation has occurred.
Can Peptic Ulcer Disease be treated without a procedure?
Most peptic ulcers are treated non-procedurally with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to reduce stomach acid, combined with H. pylori eradication regimens (typically a course of two antibiotics plus a PPI) when infection is confirmed. Lifestyle modifications — including stopping NSAID use where possible, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and dietary adjustments — form an important part of management and may significantly support healing. Follow-up testing to confirm H. pylori eradication and, where clinically indicated, repeat endoscopy to verify ulcer healing, are standard components of ongoing care.
When is Endoscopic Hemostasis considered for Peptic Ulcer Disease?
Endoscopic Hemostasis may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Peptic Ulcer Disease?
Peptic ulcer disease is primarily evaluated and managed by a gastroenterologist, who leads both diagnostic endoscopy and endoscopic treatment of complications such as bleeding. In cases involving perforation or surgical emergencies, a general or gastrointestinal surgeon becomes involved in the care team.
How do I choose a doctor for Peptic Ulcer Disease?
When selecting a provider, it is worth asking about the gastroenterologist's experience with upper GI endoscopy and endoscopic hemostasis, the facility's access to 24-hour emergency endoscopy for bleeding cases, and the availability of multidisciplinary support including surgery and pathology for biopsy review. Clear protocols for post-treatment follow-up and H. pylori eradication confirmation are also important indicators of comprehensive care.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
