Several Endoscopy Done To Rectify Inflamed Duodenum. On Protonix And Liquid Diet. Is This A Normal Procedure For This Condition?
I have had an inflammed duodenum and have had three endoscopies in the last two and half months. The Dr. said he is using a balloon to try an widen the opening. He wants me to go in for another endoscopy this week. Is this the normal procedure for this condition?
I have also been on protonix twice a day and on a liquid diet as well.
Thanks
Art

these are the procedures which take time
your management is correct as the doctor is trying to dilate by balooning
it may take time as it is not possible to dilate in one sitting we increase the extent of dilation slowly
you can follow your doctor for he is right in my opinion also
