1, gastroscopy,
including gastroscopy and enteroscopy, these examinations can directly observe the internal conditions of the stomach and intestinal tract, found inflammation, ulcers, polyps or tumors and other lesions.
2, barium meal examination
by oral barium liquid, and then X-ray examination to observe the morphology and function of the stomach and intestinal tract.
3, Helicobacter pylori examination
by breath test, serology or gastroscopy biopsy methods, detection of the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection.
