    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Obstetrics

    Context:

    • Gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures are frequently utilized for diagnosing and managing various gastrointestinal conditions.
    • Assessing the safety and efficacy of endoscopic interventions during pregnancy is crucial for maternal and fetal well-being.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the suitability and indications of gastrointestinal endoscopy in pregnant patients.
    • To compare endoscopic methods with traditional imaging techniques like X-rays in specific clinical scenarios during pregnancy.

    Summary:

    • Flexible gastrointestinal endoscopy is a viable diagnostic tool for pregnant women, with pregnancy rarely being a contraindication.
    • Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is preferred over X-ray for unclear upper abdominal pain, while colonoscopy is indicated for recurrent perianal bleeding or diarrhea.
