Feeling uncomfortable from throat to stomach

Nowadays, many people often feel discomfort in their stomach when eating, which makes many people not care about it and think that this situation is not a big deal. But in fact, it is not the case. You should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to rule out the possibility of malignant diseases. Because the throat feels uncomfortable in the stomach, there may be some gastrointestinal diseases or infections. You must pay special attention to and take good care of these.

How to Check for Esophageal Disease

1. Gastroscopy

Gastroscopy is a very commonly used method for examining esophageal diseases. It can clearly see the condition inside the esophagus and can directly observe subtle lesions. It can also conveniently remove the lesion tissue in the esophagus for further pathological examination to determine what type of esophageal disease it is. Gastroscopy examinations of esophageal diseases, especially esophageal cancer, rarely miss diagnosis. If the endoscopic photos are clear, then no matter which hospital the examination is done in, and the examination report says there is no lesion, then generally there is nothing to worry about.

2. Fluoroscopic examination

Esophageal barium meal fluoroscopy is also an important means of examining esophageal diseases. You cannot eat anything within 12 hours before the examination and must be done on an empty stomach. During the examination, the patient should relax and follow the doctor's instructions. Generally, a routine chest and abdominal X-ray will be done first, and then the patient will take a barium meal as required by the doctor. The doctor will then use X-ray methods to observe the condition of the esophagus. Diseases such as esophageal ulcer, esophagitis, esophageal tumor, congenital mutations, etc. can be detected through esophageal barium meal.

How to check for esophageal diseases? Above we have introduced two methods for checking for esophageal diseases, namely gastroscopy and esophageal barium meal fluoroscopy. These two methods are currently the most accurate and effective methods for examining diseases in the esophagus. For some patients, esophageal lesions may not be diagnosed using one method. Doctors usually recommend another method to ensure the accuracy of the examination.
