Do you have to have a gastroscope to see stomach problems?

Gastroscopy may not be necessary to see gastropathy. Gastropathy patients mainly manifested as upper abdominal pain discomfort, and may show nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other digestive symptoms, so when showing gastropathy, gastroscopy is often required to make a definite diagnosis. However, for some patients with relatively mild symptoms, some oral drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion can also be used to protect gastric mucosa, which can obviously relieve symptoms without improving gastroscopy. If symptoms do not improve significantly after drug treatment, gastroscopy must be improved, so the diagnosis is clear. In particular, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of malignant tumor and gastric cancer.
