How big is the capsule of capsule gastroscope? Is it easy to swallow? Did it hurt during the exam?

Can't say capsule gastroscope and ordinary gastroscope are better or worse. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Everyone knows that general gastroscopy is more painful for patients, but now there is a painless gastroscope. In the case of anesthesia, the patient is allowed to make diagnosis and treatment, so the examination effect is also very clear. The patient does not have much pain, but needs anesthesia. But capsule gastroscope does not need anesthesia. Capsule gastroscope is simple and convenient, but the cost is relatively high. Capsule gastroscopy can be used as screening. If specific lesions are found, electronic gastroscopy can be done again. At present, the relatively advanced magnetic capsule gastroscope is more advanced than the first generation capsule gastroscope, but for the examination of small intestinal lesions, capsule endoscopy can be suggested, because enteroscopy is more painful for patients, and capsule endoscopy is still the first choice for screening. Therefore, it is necessary to choose capsule gastroscope or general gastroscope according to the specific pathological changes and personal economic affordability. There is no difference between good and bad, each has its advantages and disadvantages.
