Overview

People without risk factors for serious causes of dyspepsia usually do not need investigation beyond an office-based clinical examination. However, people over the age of 55 years and those with alarm features are usually investigated by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD or OGD in Britain). In this painless investigation the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum are examined through an endoscope passed down through the mouth. This will rule out peptic ulcer disease, medication-related ulceration, malignancy and other rarer causes.
