A sensor probe for detecting an environmental state within a bodily lumen includes an elongated body having an optical guide with an outcoupling surface, which is part of an end surface of the elongated body, facing a reflective surface of an overhanging part. The sensor probe further includes a photodetector which detects a property of light which is composed of light in the optical guide that is reflected from the outcoupling surface of the optical guide and of light in the optical guide that is reflected from the overhanging part. The sensor probe also includes a hydrogel material having a property that changes when getting into contact with an environmental material and/or when detecting an environmental change. The hydrogel material is provided between the end surface of the elongated body and the overhanging part.
