Is painless gastroscopy really not uncomfortable at all?

I just had a painless gastroscopy yesterday, and today I will share it with everyone.

A month ago, I finally made up my mind and arranged for a painless gastroscopy.

Firstly, to be sure, during the examination, due to anesthesia, there was no sensation at all. But before and after the examination, there were still some discomfort.

If it's just a gastroscopy, then there's nothing to do before the examination.

If you want to have a colonoscopy, you need to clean the intestines before the examination, which will not be so pleasant.

The night before the examination, no food can be eaten after 19:00. Two days before the examination, it is also important to eat easily digestible foods. The hospital's instructions specifically state not to eat vegetables with high fiber content, such as edible fungus, tomatoes, watermelons, and other foods with skin or seeds. It is also said online that high protein and high fat foods should be eaten less. So I cooked some noodles for dinner and added some chopped carrots (which later proved unwise).

20: Start drinking the first round of intestinal cleansers at 00; I have a second round of drinks at 3:00 in the morning.

The top four boxes are bowel cleansers, the silicone oil on the left below is for exhaust, and the small bottle on the right is for anesthesia.

Each box opens with 6 large and 6 small bags. Each time, use 250 milliliters of water to soak in 2 large bags and 2 small bags, and drink this glass every 15 minutes. You need to drink 6 consecutive cups, which means drinking 2 large boxes, 12 large bags, and 12 small bags, totaling 1500 milliliters.

For people who usually can't drink so much water in a day, this task is too difficult! After drinking three cups, I feel my stomach is already full, and after drinking one more cup, I feel like it's all in my throat. Drinking it again will make you nauseous.

I read the instructions that if you feel nauseous, you can extend the interval to prevent vomiting from affecting the medication, so after drinking it, I slowed down a bit.

After drinking the fifth cup, I started to drink. It is said that everyone's situation is different because their sensitivity to drugs varies. I have no other sensation in my stomach except for being full. If you have a slight bowel movement in your anus, you should quickly go to the bathroom because it's all watery and difficult to control.

After drinking the 6th cup of medicine, I pulled it three times more densely, with a longer interval, about once every half an hour. I can go to bed and rest for a while, but when I feel sleepy, I will wake up again. 2: Pulled for the 7th time around 30.

When I pulled for the sixth time, I saw that it was already clear water and thought to myself if I could stop drinking medicine. In the middle of the night, I called the hospital and finally found someone to consult. The doctor's principle is to clean the intestines thoroughly, as long as there is no residue in the water, otherwise it will affect the observation.

I didn't expect to see residue of carrots when I pulled for the seventh time (if only I hadn't eaten carrots). So I had to take a second round of medication.

The second round of medication starts at 3:00 and requires 6 drinks as before. I can't drink any more this time. After drinking four cups, it's already 4:30. According to the regulations, I have to finish drinking silicone oil in La Liga, and I can't drink any more water. I felt like there was no residue left, so I gave up the last two cups of medicine and drank the silicone oil from La Liga.

Banana flavored silicone oil is relatively good to drink.

However, the final examination results showed that my intestinal cleaning was not ideal enough.

To summarize:

1. The diet for the day of clearing the intestines is very important, especially for the last meal, preferably only starchy foods.

If you find it difficult to take medication in the first round, you can consider taking it a little earlier in the second round, or you can take it slowly, and it's best to finish it all. Before the examination, the doctor will ask for the final time of drinking, and they will arrange the examination based on this time. It is important to ensure a clear intestinal effect.

The advantage of drinking early is that you don't have to go to the bathroom again after going out in the morning.

4: After drinking all the medication at 30, I pulled it a few more times, followed by several longer intervals. I pulled it a total of fourteen or five times, right

During this period, after the fifth pull, I felt pain in my anus, thinking it was caused by repeated friction. I changed the wet toilet paper and initially felt slightly better, but later it still hurt. I checked online and found that it was caused by the stimulation of feces, as the medication I drank was irritating. Later, I washed it with warm water and felt much better.

So, if you wash with warm water a few times in the middle, you can avoid anal pain. Of course, having an intelligent toilet would be even better.

When we arrived at the hospital, the waiting room was filled with people. After waiting for a while, I finally called my name and asked my family to register - one in the gastroenterology department and one in the anesthesia department. Register back and wait.

Finally, I was called into the preparation area. First, I went to have an anesthesia assessment. The doctor asked a lot of questions - have you had several operations before, hypertension, glaucoma, diabetes? What are the symptoms of the stomach and intestines, and so on? Then I signed the information letter. I only glanced at the information letter, and it was probably about the potential risks of anesthesia. In case of an accident, the hospital will do its best to rescue and so on. The doctor will tell you where to sign and sign. If the assessment is passed, the family will be asked to pay the fee.

Then, the person who needs to undergo gastroscopy needs to drink the bottle of anesthetic (water like, which is still good to drink); Anyone who wants to undergo colonoscopy needs to wear a specially made disposable pair of pants that can be opened from the back (without taking a photo).

After drinking the anesthetic, my throat felt blocked and for a moment even affected my breathing. I quickly breathed through my nose. It will be ready in a while.

Next, those who undergo a painless examination should receive a drip here, while those who undergo a regular examination can directly enter.

This is for fluid replacement. We haven't dripped in since 4:30, and it's already 11:00 by now.

Watching the examiners come and go during the infusion, I didn't feel nervous at all. The nurse jokingly said, "To do ordinary things, you stand in and out, while to do painless things, you stand in and lie down and come out

When I enter, I need to hold the infusion bottle and approach the designated room. After entering, the doctor asked me to lie on a tall bed (possibly the car I was later pushed out of), and after getting up, he asked me to lie on my left side. The nurse asked me to bite into a plastic object (used for inserting a gastric tube) in my mouth, but I had difficulty with my temporomandibular joint, I am also worried that it may be difficult to open my mouth (because I thought in the video I watched online that it was a circular object with a large diameter, but it was actually a flat shape. Moreover, the information sheet also stated that there was a risk of mandibular dislocation), which has proven to be unnecessary. I told the nurse about my situation, and she also said that it may be tiring after a long time. After biting it, I said it was okay. I don't know what happened afterwards, I don't even know when I was drugged! When I woke up again, I was already pushed out.

When I first woke up, I felt dizzy. After lying in the car for a while, I could get up and down on the ground. Everyone has different reactions to anesthesia. I feel nauseous and nauseous when I move (I haven't eaten or drunk for so long, and there's nothing to throw up).

Obtain the examination report on the spot, and wait for one week for pathological results if there is a polyp excision. You can now go home.

The only thing I want to do after returning home is sleep. I have been sleeping from yesterday noon until this morning. I reluctantly got up and ate something, drank water several times, fell down and continued to sleep. I was quite awake this morning.

Depending on the individual's condition, it may be necessary to have a few more days of eating liquid and semi liquid foods after the examination. Doctors will also prescribe medication based on each individual's problems.

Today there is no mental problem, my appetite is not very good, and I don't have much strength. Take your time to recover.

In short, the examination is still necessary, and any problems should be promptly identified and treated.

Wishing everyone good health!
