What diseases can be detected by gastroscopy?

Gastroscopy is an examination method that can visually discover gastric mucosal lesions. It is the most common examination method in gastroenterology. Gastritis, gastric erosion, peptic ulcer, bile reflux gastritis, reflux esophagitis, gastric cancer, gastric polyps, etc. can be found under gastroscopy. When gastric polyps or gastric tumors are found, masses can also be taken under gastroscopy for pathological biopsy to determine whether they are benign or malignant. When gastroscopy finds ulcers, ulcers can also be taken for pathological biopsy to determine whether they are benign or malignant. Gastroscopy found gastritis, gastric erosion, peptic ulcer, and gastric acid secretion are directly related to the need to use acid suppression and protection of gastric mucosa drugs to treat. In addition, gastroscopy can also check whether there is Helicobacter pylori infection. Under gastroscopy can take gastric antrum mucosa, rapid urease test, to determine whether there is Helicobacter pylori infection.
