Experience of painless gastroscopy

Many people are afraid to do it for fear of pain and embarrassment.

So am I. Although I know it is best for people over 45 to have a gastrointestinal examination, I dare not do it. I know there is a painless gastroscope now, so I am not afraid of pain. To be honest, I am very shy.

Six months ago, under the persuasion of my son, I finally got up the courage and walked into the consulting room of a gastroenterologist and asked for a colonoscopy. Why am I so brave and not shy? Because during the epidemic, I have to wear a mask to cover my face when I see a doctor, and no one knows who I am. So, actually, don't worry. Besides, I heard that there is a kind of pants that can hide your shame. They were examined and not exposed.

The doctor asked me some questions. When he decided to bill me, he said that gastroscopy was best done together. I said there was nothing wrong with my stomach, and the doctor said I was under general anesthesia anyway, so I had to do it once, just in case. I thought about it, so I decided to do both stomach and intestine.

Because it is painless examination and requires general anesthesia, it is necessary to do ECG examination in advance, and gastrointestinal endoscopy must be accompanied by immediate family members.

To tell the truth, there is really no pain in doing painless gastroscopy. When I was lying on the examination bed, the doctor said I had to reach out and give her an anesthetic. I held out my hand, and the next second I knew nothing. When I woke up, I was outside the examination room. I asked the nurse, "Ah, that's all? Am I still alive? " I made the nurses laugh.

It is not the examination process that hurts to do painless gastrointestinal endoscopy, but the process of drinking laxatives.

The diet should be light two days before the examination, and do not eat fruits and vegetables with high fiber content and fruits with seeds. If you have a physical examination in the morning, you can't eat after 8 pm the day before, and you should drink 1500 ml laxatives at 9 pm and 4 am respectively. I asked the doctor, I started fasting at eight o'clock in the evening, so can I drink water when I wake up the next day? The doctor smiled and said, "yes, but you don't want to drink it." "Yes, 1500 ml, it's time to drink.

24 packs of electrolyte at a time (12 packs are large and 12 packs are small), and there is also a bottle of defoamer at 9 o'clock. It will take nearly ten minutes to tear up so many packages of medicine.

It is not easy to drink 1500ml an hour. Some people still think this medicine tastes bad, and some people on the Internet say it will vomit.

I feel fine, it's not as bad as they say, and I haven't vomited. It's the first time to drink it, because I've heard it tastes terrible before. I took a sip through a straw and held my breath and drank it. I don't need it the second time I drink it. I just picked up the bowl and drank it, like a cow.

After drinking at 9 o'clock, I started to run to the toilet soon. Happiness comes so suddenly that there is no time to run. So, after the time, I simply sat on the toilet and played with my mobile phone, waiting for the flowers to bloom and fall.

1 1 around 30, it finally stopped. Set the alarm clock at four o'clock and go to bed.

After drinking at 4 o'clock in the morning, there is basically no way to rest, tossing until 6: 30, and diarrhea makes you doubt life.

Therefore, it is not terrible to do painless gastroscopy. What is terrible is the process of drinking medicine and having diarrhea. However, for the sake of health, what are you afraid of?

The result of my examination was that there were polyps in the stomach, and the doctor removed them by the way during the examination. It is a good thing to have a check-up, otherwise one day, polyps will quietly develop into bad things, and that will be troublesome. And after examination, I found that my stomach has more problems than my intestines, so I feel very lucky. Fortunately, I listened to the doctor and made a gastroscope together.

Many people don't have the consciousness of doing gastrointestinal endoscopy, and feel that there is nothing uncomfortable, no need to do it, or dare not do it. In fact, the symptoms of early digestive tract cancer are not obvious, and once symptoms appear, they often reach the middle and late stages.

If you encounter a gastroscope, you may pass by death; Refuse it, maybe one day when you get to the hospital bed, you will find that life has entered the countdown.

Therefore, listen to the doctor's words, people over 45 years old, it is best to do a gastrointestinal mirror. Listen to me, it's not that scary to have a gastroscope.
