People who think that gastroscopy is painful should not have had a gastroscopy, just hearsay. The gastroscope is a hose, only 0.9 cm in diameter, the doctor does not take the mirror to the digestive tract mucosa squeeze, but along the esophagus and stomach cavity, so the patient will not feel pain. However, because the hose touches the throat, sensitive patients will have a vomiting reflex, the most uncomfortable part of the gastroscopy is this, I’m afraid. Many people are afraid to talk about gastroscopy, thinking that it will be painful and uncomfortable, so there is no need for patients to think this way. Because of the fear of gastroscopy pain and wait until the abdominal pain intensifies, or the emergence of swallowing difficulties, obstruction and other symptoms and then come to the doctor, it will already be water over three autumn, and even regret when it is too late. Some patients have paid a great price for this, such as having to undergo surgery for gastric resection and serious consequences such as metastasis of digestive tract tumors. Such things are often seen in clinical practice. Therefore, it is important to correct the attitude and face the gastroscopy correctly. You want to complete a gastroscopy easily, in addition to the doctor’s skillful insertion techniques also need your cooperation, to tell you a secret: when inserting the mirror, except for some discomfort in the throat, there is no feeling in the esophagus and stomach. Because in the throat area there is a circle of muscles responsible for swallowing, it is controlled by you, when you relax or swallow, it relaxes, the food is slipped into the esophagus. When you are nervous, it will spasm, food is blocked in the mouth. Understand this, you naturally will not be nervous, the throat area muscles will not spasm and clench the hose of the gastroscope, then vomiting and other uncomfortable feelings will be almost gone. Therefore, the main thing is that if you follow the following method to cooperate with the doctor for the examination, it can be done easily and smoothly. The main points of your cooperation with the doctor for the insertion of the scope are: first loosen the collar and belt, remove the dentures if you have movable dentures, and after the throat anesthesia, position yourself according to the doctor’s requirements and take a deep breath. When inserting the mirror, let your throat relax and then relax, the neck, shoulders and muscles of the whole body must also be relaxed, nose inhalation, mouth exhalation, slowly and deeply breathe, do not swallow saliva, because at this time the throat has been local anesthesia, if swallowing saliva is easy to choke, and swallowing action will cause the muscles of the throat and the gastroscope to rub together, but more likely to cause regurgitation and vomiting feeling. Relaxation is your first task, gently bite down on the mouth pad and let the gastroscope tube slide easily through the throat, or gently do a swallowing motion under the doctor’s instruction, the slim and smooth gastroscope tube will enter the esophagus smoothly, and you will be done after a few minutes. After entering the mirror, your body and head should not be turned to prevent damage to the mirror and injury to your internal organs. If you feel uncomfortable and cannot tolerate it, you can signal the doctor or nurse with a hand signal so that the necessary measures can be taken. This examination is done while you are always awake and more or less uncomfortable. If you are still apprehensive, try a painless gastroscopy, where you complete the gastroscopy in just a few minutes of sleep, without any gastroscopy experience.
