gastroscopy scene.
Red Net Moment News, December 21st (Correspondent Shu Li) Gastroscopy is the main method to detect upper gastrointestinal lesions. With the increase in gastric disease patients and the improvement of people's health awareness, gastroscopy has gradually become familiar to people. As gastroscopy is an invasive examination, it is very necessary to understand some of its precautions. So what should we pay attention to before and after gastroscopy?
An endoscopist from Changsha Dongda Anorectal Hospital said that gastroscopy uses a slender, flexible tube to extend into the stomach. An endoscope is installed at the front end of the tube, which can directly observe the health status of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, and can also accurately detect some particularly small lesions. Before undergoing gastroscopy, subjects need to understand these precautions:
Precautions before gastroscopy
1. Smoking should be avoided the day before gastroscopy, so as not to increase the sensitivity of the throat to gastroscopy stimulation and affect intubation.
2. The day of gastroscopy must be fasting, so you need to fast for at least 8 hours before the examination, so that the stomach can reach a fasting state. During the examination, the contents of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum can be clearly observed to ensure the accuracy of the examination results.
3. Try to relax and avoid being overly nervous. For most people, some discomfort caused by gastroscopy is within the tolerable range. One of the main reasons for the worsening of discomfort symptoms is related to excessive emotional stress. Therefore, before having a gastroscopy, you should pay attention to relaxing and not being too nervous.
4. If you have heart disease , hypertension and other related diseases, please inform the medical staff in advance.
5. If you plan to have a painless gastroscopy, it is recommended that your family members accompany you.
6. After entering the examination room, you should loosen the collar and belt, remove dentures and glasses, lie on the left side, or use other positions as needed.
Precautions after gastroscopy
1. After gastroscopy, you may experience throat pain, abdominal pain, bloating, hiccups, and other discomforts, which are normal phenomena. Severe cases need to be observed in the hospital.
2. Generally, it takes two hours before eating after a gastroscopy. If there are special operations, follow the doctor's arrangements. The diet after the examination should be as light and easy to digest as possible, and avoid raw, cold, hard and irritating foods.
3. Those who undergo painless gastroscopy can rest appropriately after the examination and avoid driving or working at high altitudes within 24 hours to avoid danger.
4. The gastroscopy report can usually be obtained after the gastroscopy, but if a pathological examination is also performed, it usually takes a few days to get the pathology report. Be careful not to miss it.
Changsha Dongda Anorectal Hospital reminds that regarding gastroscopy, due to individual differences, the level of the visiting hospital and the examining doctor is also different, so the specific examination precautions and treatment methods will also be different, and you can follow the guidance of medical staff.
