Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, including gastric endoscopy, is a technique used to directly examine the patient's upper digestive system with a small camera mounted at the top of the endoscope. The doctor uses endoscopy to diagnose the disease and, sometimes, treats gastrointestinal diseases during an endoscopy.

1. When to need a gastroscopy?

When performing a gastroscopy, the doctor not only examines each stomach, but also examines the entire upper gastrointestinal tract in a top-to-bottom order consisting of the ere, stomach and head of the small intestine, also known as the duodenum. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is used for diagnosis and sometimes for the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Patients with the following problems will be prescribed gastrointestinal endoscopy on:

  • Find the causes of gastrointestinal signs and symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • diagnose. The doctor uses an endoscopy to take tissue samples and this gastrointestinal tissue sample will be biopsyed to detect a number of diseases such as anemia, bleeding, inflammation, diarrhea or gastrointestinal cancer.
  • treat. During the laparoscopy, the doctor will insert special instruments through an endoscopy to treat gastrointestinal conditions such as dilation of the ureter, polyp removal or removal of foreign objects.

  • Endoscopy is sometimes combined with other techniques, such as ultrasound. An ultrasonic probe can be attached to the endoscope to produce an image of the wall of the entsopha or stomach. Ultrasound combined endoscopy also helps the doctor to create images of hard-to-reach muscles, such as the pancreas.

2. Does a gastroscopy hurt?

In general, endoscopy is a safe technique. However, during laparoscopy, patients may experience some complications that may cause pain such as:

  • bleed. The risk of bleeding complications increases after laparoscopy when a patient takes a sample of gastrointestinal tissue for a bioscopy or a combination of path pathology treatment of the digestive system.
  • be infected. Most endoscopic or endoscopic cases with a combination of bioscopy are at low risk of infection. Most infections are minor and can be treated with antibiotics. Your doctor may give preventive antibiotics before an endoscopy if you are at high risk of infection.
  • Torn gastrointestinal tract. A laceration in the ere or other part of the upper gastrointestinal tract can cause the person to be hospitalized and sometimes require surgery for treatment. The risk of this complications is very low, but it will increase if other techniques accompany an endoscopy such as the treatment of dil dilitis.

  • Reaction to sedatives. Before the endoscopy, the patient may be given sedatives to reduce discomfort during the procedure. There are many different sedatives and patients may experience some side effects but are rare.
