Does the traditional gastroscope hurt? videotape

Under normal circumstances, gastroscopy will not cause pain, but it does not rule out that operational errors may cause damage to esophagus and gastric mucosa. This situation may cause pain.

This situation generally does not happen in clinic. Patients usually feel vomiting when doing gastroscopy, which is normal, because foreign bodies enter the body and the body will reject them.

Inspection process

1. Make preparations in advance, and don't eat or drink water for at least 8 hours before the inspection. The food in the stomach easily affects the doctor's diagnosis and easily causes nausea and vomiting. In order to reduce throat discomfort, medical staff will spray anesthetic on the patient's throat 3 minutes before the examination.

2. During the inspection, first put on loose clothes, take the left lying position, and slightly bend your legs. When the doctor puts the gastroscope into the patient's mouth with a plastic device, he should relax and swallow slightly, so that the gastroscope can smoothly enter the esophagus through the throat. When passing through the throat, there will be a feeling of pain and vomiting for a few seconds, which is a more uncomfortable moment during gastroscopy.

When making a diagnosis, the doctor should not swallow, but inhale through the nose and exhale slowly in the mouth, so as to successfully complete the examination. Some people feel flatulence and nausea because air enters the stomach with the tube. If you feel pain and discomfort, please make a gesture to the medical staff, and never grab the pipe or make a sound.

4. After the treatment, don't eat within 0 ~ 2 hours after the 65438+ examination. If there is no uncomfortable feeling in the throat, you can drink water first; If you don't choke, you can eat soft food first to avoid esophageal or stomach bleeding caused by rough food. Some people will have a brief sore throat and foreign body sensation, which can be recovered in 1 to 2 days.
