ENDOSCOPY PRICE IN NEPAL
Quality Endoscopy at a Reasonable Cost
The value of an endoscopy depends not only on the procedure itself, but also on the quality of the evaluation and the guidance you receive afterwards. At Clinic One, our gastroenterologists take time to review your symptoms, explain every finding, and recommend the next steps based on the results. Our goal is to provide specialist-led endoscopy care that remains accessible and reasonably priced for patients seeking reliable digestive evaluation.
Our Approach to Endoscopy
At Clinic One, we believe that endoscopy should be performed only when it is clinically indicated and likely to provide meaningful information about your digestive health.
First, our gastroenterologists begin with a thorough clinical evaluation, review your symptoms and medical history, and determine whether an upper GI endoscopy is the most appropriate investigation.
Before the procedure, we explain the process in detail, discuss any necessary preparation, and answer your questions so you know exactly what to expect.
During the endoscopy, a thin flexible camera is passed through the mouth to examine the upper digestive tract, allowing our specialists to identify inflammation, ulcers, bleeding, infections, structural abnormalities, and other gastrointestinal conditions.
If required, tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken during the procedure for further laboratory analysis. After the examination, we review the findings with you, explain their significance, and develop a treatment plan based on the diagnosis and your individual health needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an upper GI endoscopy?
Upper GI endoscopy is a procedure that allows a gastroenterologist to examine the food pipe (esophagus), stomach, and duodenum using a thin, flexible camera. It is commonly used to investigate acid reflux, gastritis, stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, difficulty swallowing, and other upper digestive problems.
Who performs the endoscopy at Clinic One?
Dr Rabin Sharma, DM (Gastroenterology & Hepatology), performs upper GI endoscopy at Clinic One. With extensive experience in diagnostic endoscopy and the management of digestive and liver diseases, he has performed more than 5,000 upper GI endoscopy procedures and provides specialist evaluation and follow-up care.
Is endoscopy painful?
Most patients describe endoscopy as uncomfortable rather than painful. A local anesthetic throat spray is usually used during the procedure, and the examination is generally completed within a short time. Temporary throat irritation or mild bloating may occur afterwards.
How long does an endoscopy take?
An upper GI endoscopy usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes to complete. The duration may vary if a biopsy is required or if additional examination is needed.
Since the procedure is usually performed on a day-care basis, patients can generally return home after a short recovery period.
How long is the recovery period?
Recovery after an upper GI endoscopy is usually quick. Most patients feel well enough to resume routine activities later the same day or the following day, depending on whether sedation was used.
If a biopsy is taken during the procedure, your doctor may provide additional instructions based on the findings.
Do I need to stay in the clinic after the endoscopy?
No, hospitalisation is usually not required for an upper GI endoscopy. After the procedure, you will remain under observation for a short period before being discharged. Our gastroenterologist will review the findings with you, explain any biopsy requirements, and advise you on the next steps in your treatment.
Can a biopsy be taken during endoscopy?
Yes. If an ulcer, inflammation, infection, or another abnormal area is found during the examination, our gastroenterologist may take a small tissue sample during the same procedure when clinically appropriate. The biopsy helps confirm the diagnosis and guide further treatment if needed.
How do I prepare for an endoscopy?
Before the procedure, our team will provide detailed preparation instructions, including fasting for several hours beforehand. It is important to follow these instructions carefully so the stomach is empty and the examination can be performed safely.
