While there may be some discomfort on completion, such as nausea, loss of appetite, etc., as long as it is in a regular hospital, the technology is already very mature, and the discomfort will soon disappear! Here are two pieces of information for your reference, I hope it helps!
(1) Gastroscopy
Most people back off when they hear they need a gastroscopy. In fact, whether you are doing diagnosis of diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract or health checkups, gastroscopy is very important. With the increasingly stressful life in China, the number of people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases and gastric cancer is also on the rise. Therefore, it is worthwhile for the public to know more about gastroscopy.
What is a gastroscopy?
The full name of gastroscopy is "upper gastrointestinal endoscopy," which is the use of a long, thin tube of black plastic wrapped with light-conducting fibers of about one centimeter in diameter, with an endoscope at the front end that extends from the mouth into the esophagus→stomach→duodenum of the patient, and a strong light emitted from a light source that can be turned around by the light-conducting fibers to allow the physician to observe the health status of various parts of the upper gastrointestinal tract from the other end. The health condition of each part of the upper gastrointestinal tract can be clearly observed from the other end. If necessary, a clip can be inserted through a small hole in the gastroscope to make a biopsy. The full examination takes about 10 minutes, or 20 to 30 minutes for a biopsy.
Gastroscopy is a good way to detect gastrointestinal diseases
Gastroscopy is a very reliable diagnostic tool for diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract, such as esophagitis, gastritis, esophageal ulcers, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, gastric polyps, and esophageal or gastric cancers. Therefore, people with lower abdominal discomfort for more than 7 days, black stools, peptic ulcers or a family history of gastric cancer should undergo regular gastroscopy; and people over the age of 40 should also undergo additional gastroscopy when they undergo a physical examination. However, if the esophagus is abnormal and the gastroscope cannot pass smoothly, or if the person has a myocardial infarction or serious lung disease, or if the person is completely unwilling to cooperate, he or she will not be able to be examined.
Is a gastroscopy really that scary?
If you understand the process and are prepared before and after the procedure, it will be less intimidating.
No food or water is allowed at least eight hours before the test, as food in the stomach can affect the physician's diagnosis and can cause nausea and vomiting. To minimize throat discomfort, an anesthetic will be sprayed down the patient's throat three minutes before the test.
The examination process begins with a change of clothes, lying on your left side with your legs slightly bent. When the physician inserts the gastroscope through the plastic device in the patient's mouth, the whole body should be relaxed, and a slight swallowing movement should be made so that the gastroscope passes smoothly through the throat into the esophagus. There will be a few seconds of pain and vomiting as the scope passes through the throat, which is one of the more uncomfortable moments of a gastroscopy.
When the physician is making a diagnosis, instead of swallowing, inhale through the nose and exhale slowly through the mouth so that the exam can be completed smoothly. Some people may feel bloated and nauseous as air enters the stomach with the tube. If you feel pain or discomfort, make a gesture to your healthcare provider and never grab the tube or make a sound.
Don't eat for 1 to 2 hours after the test. If your throat doesn't feel uncomfortable, drink water first; if you're not choking, eat soft foods first to avoid bleeding in the esophagus or stomach from rough foods. Some people may experience a short-lived sore throat and foreign body sensation, which can usually be recovered in 1 to 2 days.
A skilled physician can not only keep the patient from being tired, but also diagnose the results more accurately, so the examination should be carefully selected before the experienced physician. The doctor's advice to gastroscopists is to give 10 minutes to the doctor for health and peace of mind. Indeed, gastroscopy is not as scary as it seems, and it's well worth it.
