Gastroscopy is possible in patients with gastric ptosis.
Gastric ptosis refers to the clinical syndrome that occurs when the position of the gastric body is significantly lower than normal in the upright position, with the greater curvature of the stomach arriving at the pelvis and the lowest point of the lesser curvature falling below the iliac spine line. Patients often experience nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and other symptoms.
Gastroscopy is one of the commonly used clinical auxiliary examinations, which can provide hemostatic treatment for bleeding lesions under direct vision, remove foreign bodies in the stomach, remove benign polyps, and detect ulcers, tumors and other diseases. Gastric ptosis does not affect gastroscopy.
In addition, patients with gastric ptosis should seek timely medical treatment under the guidance of the doctor, and pay attention to adjusting lifestyle habits, avoid overeating, eat small meals, and enhance abdominal muscle exercise.
