Gastroscopy is usually possible during breastfeeding.
Gastroscopy is divided into two practices: painless gastroscopy and general gastroscopy. In the case of painless gastroscopy, which is usually performed under anesthesia, the gastroscope probe is used to enter the stomach along the esophagus to investigate the stomach, and the anesthesia is usually metabolized within three days, so breastfeeding can be done 72 hours after the painless gastroscopy, which usually does not cause too much impact.
If a breastfeeding woman is having an ordinary gastroscopy, it can be done without drinking lidocaine, so that no chemicals will enter the body of a breastfeeding woman, no metabolism is involved, and breast milk secretion will not be affected, so that she can continue to breastfeed directly after an ordinary gastroscopy without worrying about affecting the effect of breastfeeding.
Gastroscopy needs to be done only after the physician examines and meets the indications for gastroscopy.
