Contemporary society attaches great importance to stomach diseases, so do you need to go for gastros

No, even at the current stage when everyone is very concerned about gastrointestinal diseases, except for some high-risk patients, not everyone is suitable for gastrointestinal endoscopy once a year. First of all, we want to clarify this concept for everyone, so that everyone does not think that gastrointestinal endoscopy should be done every year.

In fact, when it comes to countries that have done better in gastrointestinal endoscopy, many people should think of Japan, which originally paid more attention to the screening of tumors in gastrointestinal endoscopy because of the high incidence of digestive tract tumors. Therefore, for adults over 45 years old in Japan, there is a habit of regular gastrointestinal endoscopy in many cases, especially for some high-risk groups. However, it should also be said that not everyone has a gastrointestinal endoscopy every year, and it is more likely that it is once every few years, and it is possible for high-risk groups to have gastrointestinal endoscopy checked every year.

So, when it comes to the situation in China, it certainly doesn't mean that everyone needs to have a gastrointestinal endoscopy every year. As for whether each person needs to recheck the gastrointestinal endoscopy every year, Dr. Zhang recommends that everyone follow the advice of a professional doctor based on their own situation. For some high-risk groups, it is true that some people need to have a gastrointestinal endoscopy checked every year, and if you are in some high-risk groups for gastrointestinal diseases, don't ignore this.

But if you are just an ordinary healthy person, then there is no need to have this check-up every year. After all, gastrointestinal endoscopy requires the participation of an anesthesiologist and is not easy to make an appointment. And ordinary gastrointestinal endoscopy is not very comfortable many times, and many people react greatly.

Finally, to sum up, for ordinary people, if the gastrointestinal symptoms are obvious, they should do a gastrointestinal endoscopy, don't ignore it. But if it's just a physical examination, there is no need for ordinary healthy people to do it every year. For those high-risk groups with gastrointestinal diseases, it is recommended that you do a gastrointestinal endoscopy once every few years, and it is recommended that you follow the advice of professional doctors and decide based on your own condition.

If you don't know whether you should have a gastroscopy or not, you can consult a doctor when you go to the hospital for a physical examination.

There is no need to do gastroscopy every year, but if you have gastritis, or if you have stomach discomfort, you should do it, and see according to what you said, I think your main thing is caused by your own emotions, in fact, there may not be any major problems with the stomach, you usually relax your mood, go out more activities, and eat more regularly.

Gastroscopy does not have to be done every year, and the frequency of gastroscopy will vary depending on the patient's specific situation. For normal people, there is no stomach discomfort disease, and most of these patients do not need to go for gastroscopy every year.

Contemporary society attaches great importance to gastric diseases, and people who need to do gastroscopy every year mainly refer to patients at high risk of gastric cancer, including people with a family history of gastric cancer, people who often eat some high-salt pickled foods, barbecue, long-term smoking or alcoholism.

There is no need to go for a gastroscopy every year, if you feel that your stomach is uncomfortable, you can go for a gastroscopy, if you don't feel anything, there is no need to go for a gastroscopy.

Gastroscopy is the most commonly used examination for digestive diseases.

Advantages of gastroscopy: real-time intuitive and direct access to disease information, combined with biopsy histology, can confirm the diagnosis of esophageal, gastric, duodenal bulb, descending segment diseases, is the gold standard (best method) for the diagnosis of these diseases.

Disadvantages of gastroscopy:

1) A certain amount of pain and trauma, about 70% of patients reported nausea and vomiting;

2) Some patients cannot bear it, such as ischemic heart disease, psychological resistance and some patients with mental illness.

With the advancement of endoscopy and related technologies, the scope of use of endoscope is gradually expanding: it is not only suitable for patients with esophageal gastroduodenal diseases, but also for the screening of high-risk groups such as gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. People who need to have a gastroscopy:

1) Patients with peptic ulcer, 2) patients with gastritis, 3) patients with dyspeptic symptoms such as anorexia and bloating, 4) patients with a family history of gastric cancer and esophageal cancer;

People who need regular gastroscopy:

1) After peptic ulcer **, 2) patients with gastric polyps, 3) superficial gastritis with erosion, or long-term ** with poor effect, 4) chronic atrophic gastritis, 5) after gastrectomy, 6) first-degree relatives of patients with gastric cancer and esophageal cancer.

There are many other types of gastroscopy that can be performed, such as:

1) polyp resection, 2) emergency hemostasis of gastric, upper duodenal or esophageal bleeding, 3) ** resection of early gastric cancer, 4) stenting of esophageal stricture, 5) botulinum toxin injection and dilation ** for achalasia, 6) local chemotherapy for tumors, etc. Compared with the traditional one, gastroscopy has the characteristics of minimally invasive and direct vision, so it is especially suitable for patients with advanced disease and poor underlying status.

Although gastroscopy is painful, it is bearable compared to its diagnostic value. Many diseases rely on the results of gastroscopy to make a final diagnosis, combined with histological examination, the results of gastroscopy provide the most valuable basis for the choice of method.

Abandon the fear of gastroscopy, bravely face gastroscopy, strive to detect diseases at an early stage, and strive to achieve the best results at a small cost.
