Most people think that stomach trouble is a minor illness, so it is good to take some medicine. When the illness breaks out again and again, it gets worse and worse until other symptoms appear, but at this time, stomach trouble has often become the late stage of malignant lesions. Many people put off gastroscopy because they are afraid of it. In fact, gastrointestinal tumors can be completely prevented from worsening and cured as long as they are screened early and the lesions are found early!
With the application of fiber optic technology, electronic technology, ultrasound and other high and new technologies in gastrointestinal endoscopy, the comfort level and diagnostic level of examination have also been significantly improved. Painless gastrointestinal endoscopy technique is to use intravenous anesthesia with drugs, so that patients can receive gastrointestinal endoscopy in the state of sleep. In other words, doing an examination is like taking a short sleep. When you wake up, the examination is finished, and the patient has no feeling.
This not only relieves the patient's pain, but also avoids the mechanical damage caused by his involuntary agitation, and helps doctors to carry out more detailed examinations. It has the characteristics of no pain, no fear, no sequelae, safety, etc., and is especially suitable for patients with gastrointestinal diseases who are afraid of examination because of psychological tension.
If you are over 40 years old (family history of digestive tract diseases can be advanced), or if you have bad living habits (smoking, drinking, eating irregularly, liking greasy food, pickling, barbecue, etc., and often staying up late), you are advised to have a gastrointestinal endoscopy to make a clear diagnosis and minimize the risk.
Gastroscopy will cause some damage to the mucosa of digestive tract. Gastroscopy is a common examination method for stomach diseases, which is an invasive examination method, so it will have a certain impact. Endoscope needs to be placed through esophagus during gastroscopy, which will inevitably cause some damage to throat, esophagus and gastric mucosa. Some people will have bleeding after gastroscopy, but the amount of bleeding is not large, and they will also cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting because of irritation to mucosa during gastroscopy. Some patients can't tolerate the pain caused by gastroscopy, so they need painless gastroscopy. In this case, they need anesthesia. Narcotic drugs will have a certain impact on their health, and some patients will have adverse reactions or side effects, and it will take some time for metabolism to return to normal.
