Advanced Diagnosis by Dr. O.K. Prakashen at CM Best Gastro and Eye Care

Endoscopy (Upper GI Endoscopy)

An upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to visually examine the upper part of the digestive system — including the esophagus (food pipe), stomach, and the duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine).

At CM Best Gastro and Eye Care, Namakkal, Dr. O.K. Prakashen uses a flexible tube equipped with a high-resolution camera to assess symptoms such as heartburn, ulcers, difficulty swallowing, gastritis, or bleeding.
This procedure is both diagnostic and therapeutic — allowing doctors to identify abnormalities and even perform minor treatments without surgery.

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is a vital procedure used to inspect the entire colon and rectum for signs of inflammation, ulcers, tumors, or polyps. During the test, a long, thin, flexible tube with a camera (colonoscope) is gently inserted through the rectum and navigated through the large intestine.

Patients are given IV sedation to ensure comfort.
If abnormal tissue or polyps are detected, Dr. O.K. Prakashen may take a biopsy or even remove polyps during the same session — preventing the need for major surgery.

This advanced screening method plays a key role in early detection of colorectal cancer, management of IBD (Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis), and investigation of unexplained bleeding or chronic abdominal pain.
