Yes, endoscopy can be used to evaluate the throat for narrowing or any other abnormalities. During an endoscopic procedure, a thin, flexible tube with a camera (called an endoscope) is inserted through the mouth or nose to visualize the throat and other parts of the upper gastrointestinal tract. This allows doctors to assess the structure and condition of the throat, identify any areas of narrowing (stenosis), inflammation, tumors, or other issues that may be affecting swallowing or breathing.
If you are experiencing symptoms like difficulty swallowing, a sensation of a lump in the throat, or discomfort, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional who can determine the need for an endoscopy or other diagnostic tests.
