A medical procedure where doctors use a thin camera (endoscope) to look inside both the esophagus and stomach.
From Greek 'esophagos' (esophagus), 'gaster' (stomach), and '-scopy' (examination), combining terms to describe visual examination of two connected organs.
Doctors often abbreviate this as 'EGD' (esophagogastroduodenoscopy when they go further into the small intestine), and it's one of the most common medical procedures because it shows what's really going on in your upper digestive tract.
