Gastroscopy is a very informative procedure. The frequency of its holding increases every year.
Patient's recall of such a procedure is usuallynegative. The fact is that its conduct is associated with very unpleasant sensations. But it is a valuable diagnostic technique that allows you to explore the cavity of the stomach.
This procedure is performed by an endoscopist. This doctor is able to manage modern equipment, and also has in-depth knowledge of the morphology of various body structures.
Endoscopist is a relatively rare profession. It is for this reason that gastroscopy can be performed not in every medical institution of public health.
In order to obtain a specialty and endoscopist skills, the doctor must first be trained in a specialized center. Its duration is usually about 4 months.

Сейчас, помимо классической процедуры studies of the stomach with an endoscope, there are more modern techniques. At the same time, patients leave much better feedback about them. Gastroscopy in a dream enjoys genuine interest from patients. This is due to the fact that this method allows to investigate in detail the condition of the gastric mucosa and is not associated with any unpleasant sensations. The patient is simply put into a state of sleep, that's all. As a result, such people are satisfied and do not leave negative reviews. Gastroscopy in a dream is very good for those patients who have a serious gag reflex on the introduction of the endoscope. Yes, and for those who are afraid of various medical procedures, also great.
Another good technique is transnasal gastroscopy. Reviews of this procedure do not differ much from those left by patients after gastroscopy in a dream.
Every year the number of diseases, as well as pathological conditions and clinical symptoms that are the reason for performing this procedure, is constantly increasing.
One of the most common indicationsthere are suspicions that the patient has a stomach ulcer or gastritis. In this case, after identifying the disease, a person will have to undergo gastroscopy annually. This is necessary in time to identify the slightest changes in the morphological structure of the gastric mucosa.
Another indication for gastroscopyis the identification of the patient's body mass deficiency or anemia of unknown etiology. In addition, if the patient has a feeling of disgust for meat or a metallic taste in the mouth, then gastroscopy should also be performed. The recall, like the memories, the patient after such a procedure will not be positive, but the information that the doctor will receive as a result of its implementation, can save a person's life.

In addition, care should be taken in patients with severe hypertrophy of the tonsils. So people better suited gastroscopy through the nose. Reviews after such a procedure is better, and the probability of damage to the tonsils will be excluded.
Another contraindication for gastroscopy is a severe general condition of the patient.
Today, such a procedure in Japan ismandatory for the entire population of the country. No medical certificate for a job will not be signed by a doctor if during the previous year the patient has not undergone gastroscopy. Feedback on such a procedure from the Japanese is the best. This is due, primarily, to the fact that its prophylactic treatment has significantly increased the detectability of malignant tumors in the very early stages of their development. As a result, surgical treatment was performed in patients in a timely manner and in relatively small volumes.
So in most cases, gastroscopy is aimed at controlling the course of gastric diseases, which over time can degenerate into malignant tumors.
Reviews of adult patients about this procedureable to push the idea that it is not carried out in children. In fact, today there are already a huge number of gastroscopes specifically for kids. They have a much smaller diameter than similar equipment designed for adults.

As for surgeons, to determine the tactics of treatment of the pathology of their profile, it is usually necessary to perform gastroscopy on an emergency basis.
In the course of this procedure, oftenTo confirm the diagnosis, the doctor must send a portion of the diseased tissue for histological examination. His capture is done by pinching off. In the future, a tissue sample is sent for examination by a pathologist. That he will give the final conclusion about what kind of disease has changed the gastric mucosa.
