Recovering After Endoscopy

After an endoscopy, patients are typically monitored for a short period before being discharged. It is important to have someone available to drive them home, as the effects of sedation may linger. Patients should rest and avoid strenuous activities for the remainder of the day.

Signs to Watch For

While most patients recover without complications, it is essential to be aware of any unusual symptoms, such as severe pain or fever, and to contact a healthcare provider if these occur.

Following recovery guidelines can ensure a smooth healing process.
