FGS of the stomach

Fibrogastroscopy( FGS of the stomach) is a method of examining the internal organs of a person, in which endoscopic equipment is used. By means of it, the stomach, esophagus and duodenum are examined.

FGS of the stomach can not be called a complicated procedure, but the preparation process for it is the key in the whole survey. All manipulations are performed by specialists in the endoscopic area. After this procedure, the correct diagnosis is established and appropriate treatment is prescribed.

Endoscope is used for fibrogastroscopy. It consists of a lens and a long tube. The use of this device allows you to avoid damage when you enter the esophagus and inspect the mucous membrane of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. The use of modern technology allows you to display an endoscope image on a color monitor, from which it is possible to print it.

Preliminary diagnosis requires confirmation, therefore, fags of the stomach is used. Preparation for this procedure begins with informing the specialist about the medicines taken by the patient in order to avoid the appearance of allergic reactions. It is also important for the doctor to know which chronic diseases are present in the patient who has contacted him. In addition, before the procedure it is forbidden to eat( nine hours), as this complicates the research and diagnosis.

Preparation for fibrogastroscopy is carried out in the conditions of a polyclinic or a specialized medical institution.

Doctors-specialists should take all necessary measures for a comfortable passage of the patient's fgc stomach, which is unpleasant. His condition is constantly monitored. If the patient is afraid or nervous, then he is entitled to receive a sedative.

Before administering the endoscope, a local anesthetic is injected, which serves to numb the throat. Then a special gasket is placed between the teeth, which will perform the throughput functions for the endoscope. The doctor asks the patient to relax all the muscles of the throat, then to make a swallowing movement, after which he carefully introduces the device into the esophagus.

After this manipulation, atmospheric air starts to flow into the tube cavity under insignificant pressure, which is used to spread the parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

A specialist endoscopist carefully examines the inner wall of the stomach. If necessary, you can take an analysis of the mucosa. For this, special forceps are used, which are inserted into the cavity of the stomach. This procedure is also painless. Fibrogastroscopy can remove polyps and treat ulcers.

Practice shows that the fgc of the stomach is a safe and painless procedure of a diagnostic nature, so the occurrence of complications after its carrying out can be called a rare phenomenon.

The most serious can be called perforation of the organ wall with an endoscope. As a result, bleeding occurs, which requires immediate surgical intervention.

After this procedure, patients for some time can feel discomfort in the throat. This phenomenon takes place about a day later.

Thus, the safety and accuracy of the diagnosis confirm the benefit of carrying out fgs of the stomach. Reviews about it, of course, are not the best( carrying out fibrogastroscopy is accompanied by unpleasant sensations), however they are not weighty arguments for canceling this procedure. Some patients are afraid that they will suffocate with the introduction of an endoscope, but this judgment is incorrect, which is confirmed by statistical studies.
