Do I need to take tissue for biopsy for gastroscopy? Why?

In our daily life, we often find that our friends or family members have a series of stomach diseases, in fact, this is a very common phenomenon, when many people feel that their stomach is uncomfortable, they will go to the hospital to do a gastroscopy to see if their stomach has a lesion, which is what we commonly call gastroscopy. Many people are very afraid of gastroscopy and do not know what method to use to determine whether their stomach has been damaged, so they can only judge whether there are related lesions in the stomach by doing gastroscopy and extracting gastric slices.

So in the process of gastroscopy, do we normal people need to take sections for relevant examinations? What is the reason for this? When we normal people do gastroscopy, we must take a slice of our stomach tissue for relevant examinations, because the environment of our entire stomach is relatively very dark, and when the gastroscope is extended into the examination, there is no way to check the health status of the entire stomach, so we can only use professional utensils to remove some tissues of our stomach at this time, and then make samples of these tissues, and put them under the microscope to observe whether these gastric cells have lesions.

As we all know, places where there is no light are very dark, so when we do gastroscopy, we can't see whether our stomach has undergone some strange changes through the lens, so taking our body tissues for microscopic inspection is the safest method, and this can also avoid misdiagnosis. But for people with stomach problems, who have just not been around for a long time, taking gastric slices again and again is likely to damage our stomach again, so it is not recommended that a normal person often go for gastroscopy.

And doing gastroscopy is not very comfortable, we need to put a long catheter into our esophagus, in the process of extending into the esophagus, many people will feel very want to vomit, this feeling is very uncomfortable, so we must take care of our stomach in daily life, must let our stomach damage.

In general, it is not necessary, but if you have some problems with your stomach, you will need to have a biopsy so that you can be screened for stomach cancer.

This is not necessarily, it depends on the patient's condition, and if the patient's condition is more complex, a biopsy will be performed.

Whether to take tissue for biopsy is a pathological examination, which mainly depends on whether the patient's stomach has lesions and their severity, and on the other hand, the endoscopist's level of judgment and decision-making. If the mucosa in the stomach is smooth, the mucosal folds are normal, the gastric wall is normal, and there is no congestion, erosion, or ulcer, then a biopsy is not required for pathological examination. However, if the mucosa of the stomach wall is abnormal, but if it is a common chronic superficial gastritis or mild ulcer, the endoscopist will generally give a diagnosis of chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer, and the biopsy will not be taken.
