Common problems for urban people such as acid reflux and indigestion are the signs of gastric ulcers or esophageal inflammation. When a doctor suggests that you have a gastroscopy to find out the cause, do you know what gastroscopy is like?<\/p>

Gastroscopy (commonly known as uppergastroscopy<\/a>) is mainly used to examine the inner wall of the upper gastrointestinal tract (ie, esophagus, stomach and duodenum). After spraying an anesthetic on the throat, the doctor will insert an endoscope with a diameter of about 0.9 to 1.2 centimeters into the patient's body through the mouth. During the process, the doctor needs to inflate the endoscope into the body to open the stomach to facilitate the examination. This may cause the patient to feel nausea, mild sore throat, and upper abdominal distension.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
