Painless gastroscopy is generally safe, but there are some risks.
Painless gastroscopy means that the patient undergoes gastroscopy under anesthesia, which can improve the nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms caused by the patient’s direct gastroscopy, and is generally safe. Painless gastroscopy can directly observe the esophagus, stomach cavity, duodenum and other parts of the esophagus, bleeding, ulcers, tumors and other conditions, which can help the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal tract lesions.
Painless gastroscopy requires injection of anesthesia drugs, and some patients may have allergic reaction to anesthesia drugs, which may cause respiratory difficulties and other adverse consequences. Therefore, painless gastroscopy also carries certain risks.
Patients should decide whether to undergo painless gastroscopy on the advice of their doctors.
