Generally, a gastroenteroscopy is harmless and is an aid in diagnosing diseases.
Gastroenteroscopy is also known as electronic endoscopy. It is usually performed by a skilled physician. The endoscope is used to examine the patient for the presence of diseases related to the stomach, duodenum, rectum and colon, such as gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers and colon polyps. Generally speaking, it is harmless to the body.
If an ordinary gastroscopy or colonoscopy is performed, the patient may experience slight discomfort during the examination, for example, nausea, vomiting and other discomforts may occur during the gastroscopy. For example, nausea and vomiting may occur during gastroscopy, and mild abdominal pain and bloating may occur during colonoscopy. However, this is generally tolerated by the patient, or the patient may choose to have a painless gastroenteroscopy.
A small number of patients, especially those with underlying diseases such as peptic ulcer, history of abdominal surgery, intestinal adhesions, etc., endoscopic operations such as ESD, polypectomy, etc., a small number of patients have the possibility of bleeding and perforation and other complications.
Gastroenteroscopic surgery needs to be operated by specialized physicians, and discomfort is actively diagnosed and treated.
