Gastroscopy is usually referred to as gastroscopy. Whether gastroscopy is uncomfortable needs to be analyzed according to the specific situation.

Gastroscopy can be divided into routine examination and painless examination. If the examiner chooses routine examination, gastroscopy is usually uncomfortable when he is conscious. Gastroscopy requires entering the esophagus and stomach through the mouth. In the absence of anesthesia, the throat will be stimulated to a certain extent, which may cause cough, nausea or vomiting. Secondly, during gastroscopy, the balloon may be inflated to expand the stomach wall, which may also cause stomach distension and pain. If the patient has a painless examination, the examination will be carried out only after general anesthesia, the state of consciousness will be lost, and the pain will not be felt. At this time, there will generally be no uncomfortable feeling.
