胃镜检查是内窥镜检查食道、胃和小肠(十二指肠)的程序。胃镜的构造有一根长而细的柔性管,带有摄像头系统,让医生执行活检,止血和息肉切除等程序。
它一般由胃肠病学家操作,一般经过多年特殊培训的专家,在医院的内窥镜检查中心或手术室进行。通常,检查是在中度镇静或安眠程序下进行的,这意味着您在检查过程中处于“睡眠”状态,大部分人不会记得检查过程。
胃镜检查是一种让您的医生检查您的胃、小肠和食道内膜的程序。如果您有腹痛、胃灼热、食欲不振或体重减轻等症状,但不知道是什么原因引起的,您的医生可能会提议胃镜检查。
胃镜检查可以帮助诊断许多疾病,包括胃溃疡、炎症、出血和肿瘤。它还可以帮助检测不太严重的情况,如胃炎(胃粘膜发炎)或 GERD(胃食管反流病)。
胃镜检查通常作为门诊手术进行。这意味着您可以在同一天回家。然而,有些人可能需要在胃镜检查后在医院过夜观察。
胃镜检查的风险通常很低,出血或穿孔的风险少于 1%。您的医生会根据程序的复杂性和您的背景医疗状况为您提供确切的风险建议。
总之,胃镜检查是胃肠道疾病的有用诊断工具。它可以让您的肠胃科医生详细检查您的食道、胃和十二指肠内部。如果你有疑问,可以联络我们的肠胃科医生详细讨论你的病情。
