Do gastroscope have harm to stomach

Gastroscopy

is an invasive method, but the instruments used in gastroscopy are not hard and rough objects, and usually do not cause damage to the gastric mucosa during gastroscopy. However, if the doctor does not operate properly during the examination, it may cause damage to the gastric mucosa and bleeding. Moreover, when the equipment is not strictly disinfected, it may bring pathogens into the stomach and cause stomach infection.

Therefore, it is recommended that patients go to a regular medical institution for gastroscopy to reduce the risk of gastroscopy.
