การส่องกล้องตรวจกระเพาะอาหารและลำไส้เล็กส่วนต้น

<p>Both the stomach and the upper small intestine are organs that work hard just like other organs. When abnormalities occur… you must see a doctor immediately for diagnosis. However, because the stomach and upper small intestine are internal organs, “endoscopy” is an option that helps doctors make a clear diagnosis.</p>
<h2>Check carefully… Do you have any of these symptoms??</h2>
<p>If you are someone who has symptoms such as… a dull, tight pain under the sternum, stomach ache, burning stomach pain, indigestion, loss of appetite, feeling full quickly after eating, weight loss, pain when swallowing, and vomiting blood or passing black stools, it is recommended to see a doctor immediately for diagnosis.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Stomach and upper intestine examination by endoscopy</span></h2>
<p>The doctor will use a small tube-shaped camera that can bend along the digestive tract and insert it through the mouth to the upper small intestine. This helps to clearly see the stomach to check for any abnormalities or foreign objects and their exact locations.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">How to prepare before an endoscopy?</span></h2>
<div class="paragraph">
<div class="contrainer-margin">
<ol>
<li>Refrain from eating or drinking for at least 6 hours. The last meal should be soft and easy to digest to keep the stomach empty.</li>
<li>If you have dentures, remove them before the endoscopy.</li>
<li>If you are taking regular medication, inform the doctor to consider stopping certain drugs if necessary, such as blood thinners.</li>
<li>Elderly patients or those with high anxiety should bring a relative to the hospital.</li>
<li>Arrive at the hospital at least ½ to 1 hour before the scheduled endoscopy time.</li>
</ol>

<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Benefits of endoscopy</span></h2>
<div class="paragraph">
<div>Endoscopy allows doctors to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper large intestine for any abnormal or unusual conditions. If a tumor or cancer is found, the doctor will take a tissue sample to test for Helicobacter pylori infection. If bleeding is detected, the doctor will inject medication to stop the bleeding or use heat from electric current to stop it. In cases of bleeding at the lower esophagus, the doctor can tie off the ruptured veins through the endoscope.</div>

<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Prepare yourself… Take care after endoscopy</span></h2>
<div class="paragraph">
<div>After the patient recovers from the endoscopy, they may feel like there is phlegm stuck in the throat or a thick sensation at the base of the tongue. These symptoms are caused by the anesthetic. After about 30 minutes, the symptoms will gradually improve and disappear. Initially, patients should avoid drinking water to prevent choking. Once the numbness subsides, they can eat, but soft foods are recommended.</div>

Endoscopy allows us to identify abnormalities in the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine, which are organs located deep inside the body, whether it is inflammation, tumors, or cancer, for accurate and timely treatment.
