Rapid diagnosis through endoscopy is lifesaving, identifying whether bleeding originates from upper or lower sources. Dr. Omer's expertise in both domains ensures comprehensive assessment and prompt therapeutic action tailored to each patient's bleeding severity.

Gastrointestinal bleeding ranges from minor to life-threatening, requiring urgent expert assessment. Dr. Omer performs diagnostic endoscopy to locate bleeding sources, applying therapeutic techniques when needed. Suitable candidates include patients with hematemesis, melena, or positive faecal occult blood tests, with outcomes ranging from diagnosis to active haemostasis depending on bleeding severity.
During GI bleeding evaluation, Dr. Omer uses a thin, flexible camera passed through your mouth or rectum to directly visualise the bleeding source. The procedure typically lasts twenty to forty minutes depending on complexity. You receive sedation to ensure comfort, remaining unaware during the examination while Dr. Omer identifies and treats active bleeding.
GI bleeding investigation is recommended when you vomit blood, pass black stools, or show signs of significant blood loss. Diagnosis pinpoints whether bleeding stems from upper sources like ulcers or oesophageal varices, or lower sources including polyps or inflammatory bowel disease. Treatment depends entirely on the underlying cause Dr. Omer identifies.
Patients requiring GI bleeding assessment range from teenagers with family histories of bleeding disorders to elderly individuals on blood-thinning medications. Any age group experiencing hematemesis or melena warrants urgent evaluation. Those with active bleeding, haemodynamic instability, or recurrent episodes are typically prioritised for same-day or next-day appointments at Dr. Omer's clinic.
Before GI bleeding evaluation, you must fast for six to eight hours if assessing upper sources. Bowel preparation with laxatives is required for lower GI evaluation. Inform Dr. Omer of all medications, especially blood thinners. Sedation options range from light analgesia to deep sedation based on your preference and medical history.
