Gastric ultrasound can check for ulcers, polyps, tumors, and other lesions, although it has some limitations.
Gastric ultrasound, generally referred to as gastric ultrasonography, is a non-invasive test that requires about 400 ml of oral coagulant to perform a gastric sweep, which can detect the presence of tumors, ulcers, polyps, and other lesions in the stomach. However, gastric ultrasound has some limitations and is mainly used for invasive tests where there is no way to perform a biopsy.
The main advantage of gastric ultrasound is that it can dynamically observe the peristalsis of the stomach, and can visually check whether the peristalsis of the stomach is weakened, whether the cardia is refluxed, etc., and can even determine whether the duodenum is stagnant.
If necessary, it is recommended that the patient go to a regular hospital to receive ultrasound examination, according to the results of the examination, under the guidance of specialized doctors to make a clear diagnosis.
