Capsule endoscopy is used to investigate the small intestine, an area that's difficult to reach with standard upper or lower endoscopy, particularly to find the source of unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding or iron-deficiency anemia. It's also used to diagnose Crohn's disease, small bowel tumors, or unexplained abdominal pain when other tests haven't found a clear cause.
