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 Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy?
Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (UGIE) is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in which a thin, flexible tube with a camera is passed through the mouth to examine the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It is commonly used to diagnose peptic ulcer disease, gastritis, H. pylori infection, and to perform biopsies or treat active bleeding ulcers. The procedure is quick, usually done under sedation, and allows same-day discharge in most cases.
Who may be considered?
Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 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 standard endoscopic examination performed to visualize the upper digestive tract and identify ulcers, inflammation, or abnormal tissue, often including biopsy sampling.
2 approaches available for this procedure:
Diagnostic Upper GI Endoscopy
Most CommonA standard endoscopic examination performed to visualize the upper digestive tract and identify ulcers, inflammation, or abnormal tissue, often including biopsy sampling.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $100 - $300
CBC, coagulation profile, H. pylori test, ECG, blood group and crossmatch
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $300 - $700
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: ~1 day (day-care)
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~1-2 days recommended
Total stay: approx 2-3 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Consultation with gastroenterologist
- Sedation/anesthesia during procedure
- Biopsy sampling and histopathology
- Day-care hospital charges
- Post-procedure monitoring
Usually Not Included
- Pre-procedure investigations
- Airport transfer and accommodation
- Medications after discharge
- Follow-up visits after leaving India
- Visa and travel costs
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients recover within a few hours after diagnostic endoscopy and can resume normal diet the same day, while therapeutic procedures for bleeding ulcers may require a short hospital stay with dietary restrictions and follow-up endoscopy. A follow-up consultation and repeat H. pylori testing are usually advised after 4-6 weeks.
Risks
Upper GI endoscopy is generally very safe, though rare risks include sore throat, mild bleeding at biopsy sites, perforation, or adverse reaction to sedation. Therapeutic procedures for active bleeding carry a slightly higher risk of rebleeding or need for repeat intervention.
Alternatives
Non-invasive alternatives include barium swallow X-ray studies or CT imaging, though these offer lower diagnostic accuracy and cannot obtain biopsies or treat bleeding. Capsule endoscopy may be considered for select cases but is not suitable for therapeutic intervention.
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 symptoms history and referral letter
- Previous endoscopy or biopsy reports (if any)
- H. pylori test results (if done)
- Complete blood count (CBC) and coagulation profile
- Current list of medications, especially blood thinners
- ECG report (for patients over 40 or with cardiac history)
- Abdominal ultrasound or CT scan (if previously performed)
Patient information needed
- Full name, age, and gender
- Current symptoms (abdominal pain, vomiting blood, black stools, etc.)
- Known allergies, especially to sedatives or anesthesia
- History of peptic ulcer disease or prior GI surgeries
- Fasting status confirmation before procedure
- Any bleeding disorders or use of anticoagulants
- Emergency contact and attendant 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 Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Delhi NCR, 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 Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy considered for Peptic Ulcer Disease?
Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 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.
