Gastroenteroscopy is an important method for early detection and effective prevention of gastrointestinal diseases. There is a possibility of being infected with other diseases in the process of examination, but the current medical treatment is more mature, patients go to regular hospitals for examination, professional physicians will have strict sterilization measures to ensure patient safety.
The gastroenteroscope used in gastroenteroscopy is not disposable, the examination process needs to be in contact with the patient’s body, if the gastroenteroscope is not properly sterilized, it will be infected with hepatitis B, AIDS and other infectious diseases. At present, the Ministry of Health has promulgated the operation standard of endoscopy cleaning and disinfection, and regular hospitals have a set of clear operation process and disinfection facilities for gastroenteroscopy disinfection, which basically will not be infected with other diseases.
Therefore, gastroenteroscopy should go to regular medical institutions to avoid cross-infection.
