Electronic gastroscopy, also known as an electronic gastroscope, is a common medical examination method used to check the condition of your stomach and duodenum. If you're about to undergo this procedure, here's what you need to know! 🩺

Before the examination, the doctor will ask you to fast for at least 6-8 hours to ensure the stomach is empty. This helps provide clearer images during the process. 😊 On the day of the test, you may be given a mild sedative to help you relax and reduce discomfort. The doctor will then gently insert the flexible endoscope through your mouth, down your throat, and into your stomach. The process is usually quick, lasting around 5-20 minutes.

During the exam, you might feel some pressure or slight gagging, but it’s generally tolerable. The camera on the endoscope sends images to a monitor, allowing the doctor to check for issues like ulcers or inflammation. 📸 Afterward, you'll likely feel back to normal quickly, though you should avoid driving if you received sedatives. Always follow up with your doctor for results and any necessary treatment plans. 💊✨
