What is the difference between conventional gastroscopy and painless gastroscopy?

  Gastroscopy is a test that many patients with gastric disease must undergo, and only through the test can the disease lesions be examined and the scientific basis for treatment be provided. However, the painful reaction to gastroscopy often discourages patients from undergoing the test, making them afraid of the test and missing the best time for treatment. Even if the patient reluctantly undergoes the examination, the painful sensation is haunting.  Gastroscopy is a test that many patients with gastric diseases must undergo, and only through the test can the disease lesions be examined and the scientific basis for treatment be provided. However, the painful reaction to gastroscopy often discourages patients, who are afraid of the examination and miss a good time for treatment. Even if the patient reluctantly undergoes the examination, the painful sensation is haunting. Now, using the new technology of painless gastroscopy, an anesthesiologist uses a new type of anesthetic drug to allow patients to safely perform gastroscopy in a short sleep state, without any discomfort or adverse sequelae, and they can wake up soon after the examination.  What is the difference between conventional gastroscopy and painless gastroscopy?  Conventional gastroscopy: The doctor holds the front end of the scope with the right hand and slowly puts the gastroscope into the mouth to the root of the tongue, at which time there is mostly nausea. When nausea is obvious, or when swallowing, the upper esophageal opening is opened and the doctor will insert the gastroscope into the esophagus through the opening at the moment of opening. This is the reason why the doctor often orders swallowing when some people do not cooperate well. The entry of the gastroscope into the esophagus from the pharynx is the obvious part of the gastroscopy process, and the painful part that people say is difficult to accept: most people have the gastroscope inserted into the esophagus within 1 to 3 seconds, so the discomfort such as nausea is very mild. Very few people are too nervous and mistakenly believe that they have to swallow the gastroscope by themselves.  Due to the patient’s fear and the reflex when the gastroscope is inserted into the esophagus through the pharynx, most patients will have temporary breath-holding, and these symptoms cause great psychological shadow and fear to the patients and friends who need gastroscopy.  Painless gastroscopy: Nowadays, using the new technology of painless gastroscopy consultation and treatment, an anesthesiologist uses a new type of anesthetic drug to allow patients to safely perform gastroscopy in a short sleep state, without any uncomfortable feelings and undesirable after-effects for patients, and they can wake up soon after the examination. It reduces the mechanical damage caused by the patient’s unconscious dryness due to pain and avoids the organic effects caused by the stimulation of the vegetative nerves, resulting in breath-holding, blood pressure and heart rate changes. It makes it possible to treat many diseases that need surgical treatment under gastroscopy. This saves the pain of surgery, saves medical expenses and shortens the treatment time.  Painless gastroscopy is a new painless technology that enables patients to complete the whole examination and treatment process in a painless state, and the whole process is completed in sleep. The whole process of gastroscopy takes only 2 to 3 minutes. After the examination and treatment, you usually only need to rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before going home. No food can be eaten during the gastroscopy while it is easy to observe the specifics of the stomach.  Painless gastroscopy has the following advantages: Painless: Patients do not feel any discomfort during the examination and treatment. For patients who are mentally stressed and those who are afraid of gastroscopy, painless gastroscopy and painless colonoscopy are the ideal choice for you.  Less invasive: Under painless electronic gastroscopy, several minimally invasive treatments can also be performed for gastrointestinal bleeding, polyps and ulcer stenosis, saving patients from the pain of surgical incision.  Short time: excluding the preparation time before the examination, it can be completed within minutes from the beginning of the examination.  More accurate: electronic gastroscopy has the advantage that other examination means cannot replace at present, especially some tiny lesions and even lesions of mucosal layer can be clearly diagnosed. And it has the function of magnification, which further increases the accuracy of diagnosis.  How much does a painless gastroscopy cost?  There are many kinds of gastroscopy, and the cost of different gastroscopy is also different. The cost for a gastroscopy like a normal gastroscopy is relatively low, but the patient will experience severe discomfort and sometimes even damage to the body during the examination. The cost of painless gastroscopy is slightly higher, but the examination is also relatively safe, the patient will not experience any discomfort, and the cost of the examination is not as expensive as imagined.  As we all know, the more regular the hospital, the more advanced the technology should be.
