Gastroscopy in Nikolaev

Far from everybody is in a hurry to make an appointment with a doctor in case of severe heartburn, stomach pain or flatulence, since he assumes that gastroscopy will be prescribed. People take tablets on the advice of friends or a pharmacist in order not to “swallow the probe”. But, instead of alleviating the symptoms, such self-treatment can lead to a worsening of the condition.

In order not to harm yourself, it is better to undergo a medical examination in a timely manner with qualified specialists who diagnose the disease and prescribe the right treatment. In the medical center “ON Clinic Nikolaev”, an experienced endoscopist performs stomach gastroscopy with minimal discomfort for the patient.

How is gastroscopy performed?

First, it is necessary to understand what is a gastroscopy or video-esophagogastroduodenoscopy (VEGDS). This method is used to examine the stomach cavity, the esophagus, and the duodenum. It is characterised by its safety and high accuracy. Gastroscopy enables to detect diseases of the digestive tract in the early stages. When carrying out this procedure, the condition of the mucous membrane of internal organs, the location and size of inflammation, ulcers, erosions, and the specificity of neoplasms are studied in detail.

Diagnostic gastroscopy in Nikolaev is carried out by an endoscopist with the use of a gastroscope (probe). This device has the form of a flexible tube with optical equipment. It is injected through the mouth and esophagus. Before the examination of the patient, the doctor makes local anesthesia to reduce the sensitivity of the tissues. A mouthpiece is inserted into the mouth, which protects the teeth from injury by the gastroscope. The patient is conveniently located on the left side, after which the doctor conducts a gastroscopic examination, which lasts 2-5 minutes.

Gastroscopy with biopsy is one procedure where they complement each other, saves the time of examination and enables to establish an error-free diagnosis. If during the examination the doctor notices the pathology, he can immediately take a piece of altered mucosa for histological analysis. This procedure is absolutely safe and is called a biopsy.

Examination of the stomach without gastroscopy is undesirable because the doctor can not see the full picture. Only results of a gastroscopy enable to estimate a status of mucous and to reveal the presence of pathologies or disorders.

Some patients wonder - how often can gastroscopy be performed? The periodicity of this study is determined by the attending physician. It takes into account the condition of the patient and the stage of the disease.

Preparation for gastroscopy

Doctors recommend to set up for a positive outcome before the examination and carefully follow the instructions of the medical staff. The following preparation for gastroscopy of the stomach is required personally from the patient:

  • on the eve of the examination, do not eat after seven o’clock in the evening;
  • two days before the visit to the doctor, salty, spicy, fatty foods and alcohol should be avoided.

When is it recommended to check your health and undergo a gastroscopy? If there is vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, weight loss, anemia, epigastric burning, it is recommended to visit a specialist. An appointment with the gastroenterologist of the medical center “ON Clinic Nikolaev” can be made 24 hours a day by phone or by filling out a form on the website.
