Gastroscopy is categorized into ordinary gastroscopy and painless gastroscopy. Ordinary gastroscopy may be painful and painless gastroscopy is generally painless.
1. Ordinary gastroscopy: Ordinary gastroscopy is usually performed under local anesthesia in the oropharynx only, and patients may experience nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms, and the operation of the instrument stimulates the tissue mucous membrane, which may cause different degrees of pain.
2. Painless gastroscopy: painless gastroscopy is usually performed under general anesthesia, patients usually have no obvious pain, but anesthesia assessment is needed before the operation, and those who are allergic to anesthesia can’t perform painless gastroscopy.
If you need to do gastroscopy, you can consult the doctor in time and choose the appropriate way of examination under the doctor’s evaluation.
