                  <p>Gastroscopy, also known as upper endoscopy, is a procedure used to examine the upper part of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).</p>
                  
                  <h3>Purpose of the Procedure</h3>
                  <p>Gastroscopy is performed to diagnose and, in some cases, treat conditions affecting the upper digestive system. It can help identify issues such as ulcers, inflammation, tumors, or sources of bleeding.</p>
                  
                  <h3>Procedure</h3>
                  <ol>

                    <li>A thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) is passed through the mouth and down the throat.</li>
                    <li>The doctor examines the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.</li>
                    <li>If necessary, small tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken for further examination.</li>

                  <p>Capsule Endoscopy is a procedure that uses a tiny wireless camera to take pictures of your digestive tract. The camera sits inside a vitamin-sized capsule that you swallow.</p>
                  
                  <h3>Purpose of the Procedure</h3>
                  <p>Capsule endoscopy helps doctors see inside your small intestine — an area that isn't easily reached with more traditional endoscopy procedures. It's used to diagnose digestive disorders and investigate symptoms such as abdominal pain, bleeding, or anemia.</p>
                  
                  <h3>Procedure</h3>

                    <li>The patient swallows the capsule with water.</li>
                    <li>The capsule travels through the digestive tract, taking thousands of pictures.</li>
                    <li>The patient wears a recorder on a belt to receive and store the images.</li>
                    <li>The capsule passes naturally with a bowel movement, usually within 24-48 hours.</li>
                  </ol>
