Economical Capsule Endoscopy and CT SCAN
Posted: Mon May 09, 2016 3:02 am
Hello,
My US Doctor denied to do Capsule endoscopy after 6 months of antibiotic Treatment. I have autoimmune disease and hypothyroidism for 10 years also Iron deficiency anemia.
I wanted to share my Experience of Capsule Endoscopy and CT scan in India.
WHile sitting in USA I got consultation and Quote of Capsule Endoscopy from Medanta.org gastroenterology department of roughly 62000 INR = $975 but didnt go to them. Its a fairly good Hospital and considered to be Number One in India. But I am not sure if they give the DVD of the capsule endoscopy to the patient.
I went to Fortis Hospital Mohali India in 1st week of May 2016. They charged me roughly 85000 INR = 1276 $ for the CT scan and Capsule endoscopy. Pillcam SB2. They gave me the DVD and doctor did not raised any questions because I made the payment in advance.
Results were normal with no bleeding / cuts or ulcers.
My ferritin has raised after triple antibiotic therapy. I also did the neem, Turmeric therapy for 5 days in Jan 2016.
My Stool test for HPSAg in Jan and April 2016 are negative.
CT scan was done to confirm if any issues could be found before capsule endoscopy. Which came negative too.
If you have any questions please post your queries. I will try to answer them best to my knowledge.
