One way to accurately determine the diagnosis, in this case gastritis, is fibrogastroduodenoscopy. FGDS, with gastritis, is used to analyze the state of the upper sections of the gastrointestinal tract. A gastroscopy is used for the study. It is a probe with an attached camera. Thus, the doctor has the opportunity to visually view the contents of the intestinal tract and see the video on the video necessary departments with gastritis.
FGDS is used, for gastritis, also for taking samples. Or in other words, the EGF allows you to collect a biopsy of the intestinal mucosa with gastritis.
Conclusion FGDS, with gastritis, contains the result of gastroscopy. If gastritis is not found in the video of EGF, then in the results write that there are no abnormalities in the examination. In the event that there is some pathology, then write what a nominal defect has the subject.
In gastritis, FGDS, it is performed only when the person is lying down on the left side. To ensure a more comfortable penetration of the gastroscope, local anesthesia of the oral cavity is used. Anesthesia significantly reduces the response to the foreign body in the oral and intestinal cavities.
Also, in order for the small cord to pass smoothly, a special mouthpiece is inserted between the teeth. It is made, as a rule, made of plastic and does not create any special discomfort. The procedure itself will take only 3-4 minutes.
When using FGDs, first of all they are looking for signs of gastritis and other diseases. For example, examine the contents of the stomach and the condition of the mucosa.
It should be noted that if in the process of treatment, a doctor was prescribed a gastroscopy, then you should not abandon this procedure. Some suggest that the procedure may be replaced by another, such as ultrasound. This is fundamentally wrong. Indications of ultrasound can not disclose the full picture of your gastrointestinal tract. The undoubted advantage is that during the viewing, the gastroscopy can take a biopsy, which means that there is no need to repeatedly perform such an operation. Of course, another, and perhaps important, advantage of the procedure is that the doctor will have a visual representation of the location of the formations, and, if possible, change the treatment because of the new circumstances that have arisen, for the better.
