The high incidence of gastric cancer is only because gastroscopy is rarely performed. If you are afraid of pain, you can choose these two types of gastroscopy. You should know the 6 major taboos

Tumors are not absolutely fatal diseases. As long as they are detected in the early stage and receive standardized treatment, patients still have a chance of recovery or continued survival. Gastric cancer is one of the most common tumor diseases in my country. Its risk factors are related to lifestyle habits, dietary structure, family inheritance, Helicobacter pylori infection, and the development of certain chronic gastric diseases. In clinical diagnosis, many patients are in the middle and late stages when their condition is confirmed, missing the best treatment period. The main reason is that they did not detect the disease in time. The common problem is that they did not undergo gastroscopy when lesions were found in the stomach.

Gastroscopy is the main means of screening for gastric tumors and digestive tract tumors. The early symptoms of gastric tumors are relatively hidden, and there may not even be obvious abnormalities, which leads to patients neglecting diagnosis and treatment. It is also possible that the patient is afraid of the pain of gastroscopy and thinks that the condition is not serious, so he did not do the examination. These procrastination behaviors provide convenient conditions for the development of gastric tumors. Here we recommend that everyone pay attention to stomach health. Once abnormalities are found, it is safer to do a gastroscopy. If you are afraid of pain, you can choose 2 types of painless gastroscopy.
The first type: ordinary painless gastroscopy <br/>It is called ordinary painless gastroscopy because this type of endoscopy is widely used. Compared with ordinary gastroscopy, it adds anesthesia and oxygen inhalation processes. The other type of painless endoscopy is very different from it, so ordinary painless gastroscopy is used as the signature here. This type of gastroscopy requires professional anesthesia for the patient, intravenous injection of short-acting sedatives, and oral pads for oxygen delivery. After the examination, stop the medication, and the patient will soon wake up and return to normal, but will not remember what happened during the examination, and there will be no pain.

Contraindications of painless gastroscopy: The examination scope and applicable groups of this painless gastroscopy are the same as those of ordinary gastroscopy, but there are 6 contraindications that must be noted:
1. Patients with severe respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia, emphysema, asthma, etc., as well as those with acute respiratory diseases and hypoxemia cannot undergo painless gastroscopy.
2. Patients with oral occlusion disorders, limited movement of the neck or mandibular area, and obstructed airway opening are not suitable for painless gastroscopy.
3. Patients with serious visceral system diseases such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, liver and kidney failure, severe anemia, and myasthenia gravis cannot undergo painless gastroscopy.

4. If there is bleeding, vomiting blood, fluid retention, etc. in the digestive system, painless gastroscopy cannot be performed directly. Gastric decompression and other treatments are required. After eliminating the retained fluid and stopping the bleeding, it is determined whether painless gastroscopy can be performed based on the patient's condition.
5. If the patient is allergic to multiple drugs, he cannot undergo painless gastroscopy because the anesthetic drugs may also cause an allergic reaction in the patient.
6. Pregnant women cannot undergo painless gastroscopy, or even most examinations requiring anesthesia. First, it is considered that it may affect the fetus. Second, pregnant women belong to a special group, and too much medical intervention may cause unpredictable situations.
Precautions after painless gastroscopy: basically the same as ordinary gastroscopy, but since painless gastroscopy needs to be purchased, it is best to do this examination in the company of relatives and friends. If gastroscopy treatment is required, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice or stay in the hospital for observation.

The second type: comfortable gastroscopy <br/>Since it is called comfortable gastroscopy, the experience of this examination is more or less better than painless gastroscopy. This is indeed the case. Comfortable gastroscopy has little irritation to the throat. It enters the stomach through the nasal cavity, and the catheter is thinner, so it is basically painless. In addition, comfortable gastroscopy can avoid nausea and vomiting caused by the catheter entering the throat. The catheter itself is about 5 mm long, and some doctors can perform stomach examinations on themselves alone.
Advantages of comfortable gastroscopy: The catheter is thinner and softer, and it is less painful to enter through the nasal cavity without irritating the throat; it uses CCD image detection, which has higher clarity; there are more ways to enter the stomach, and it can enter through the nasal cavity or the throat; it is applicable to a wide range of groups. Many patients, especially children, are afraid of gastroscopy. Comfortable gastroscopy can avoid this problem and reduce patients' fear; for patients with poor cardiopulmonary function and certain critical and severe diseases, comfortable gastroscopy is more applicable;
Contraindications of comfortable gastroscopy: Although this type of gastroscopy has many advantages, it also has corresponding contraindications. If the examinee has a narrow nasal cavity, a tortuous nasal septum, or acute rhinitis, it is not suitable to use a comfortable gastroscopy. In addition, because the comfortable gastroscopy catheter is thinner and softer, endoscopic treatment is subject to certain limitations. For example, it is not applicable to gastric polyps and gastric bleeding. Therefore, when doing a gastroscopy, you need to consult a doctor about which form is suitable for you. You cannot blindly pursue painlessness or comfort. The purpose of a gastroscopy is to detect and treat diseases. Even if you have to endure a short period of discomfort, it is much less harmful than worsening of the disease.
