Gastroscopy with Botox
Innovative Relief for Gastric Motility Disorders
Struggling with nausea or feeling full too quickly? At South East Gastroenterology & Endoscopy clinic in Melbourne, a gastroscopy with Botox is a gentle, non-surgical way to help your stomach work better. Let’s go through what it is, when it’s helpful, and how we make it easy for you.
What is a Gastroscopy with Botox?
A gastroscopy with Botox is a procedure where we use a small camera (endoscope) to inject Botox (botulinum toxin) into your stomach muscles. This relaxes the muscles, helping food move more easily from your stomach to your small intestine. It’s great for conditions like gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying).
With Gastroscopy with Botox Melbourne, We perform this quick procedure in our modern Melbourne clinic, so you’re comfortable and back to your day in no time.
Why Consider This Procedure?
