Do not do gastroscope to be able to examine stomach

Do not do gastroscope can check stomach, barium meal examination, stomach ultrasound examination, carbon 13 or carbon 14 breath test, blood examination, etc., can not check stomach through gastroscope. 1. barium meal examination patients swallow barium agent, through X-ray observation barium agent in the gastrointestinal tract distribution and flow, can roughly understand the shape of the stomach, outline and peristalsis. This method is relatively simple, but for some subtle lesions may not be as accurate as gastroscopy. 2. Gastric ultrasound uses ultrasound technology to observe the condition of the stomach. Although it can provide some information, it has limited effect on specific lesions of the gastric mucosa. 3. Carbon 13 or carbon 14 breath test Carbon 13 or carbon 14 breath test is mainly used to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection. Helicobacter pylori is closely related to a variety of stomach diseases, and detection can assist in determining the health status of the stomach. 4. Blood tests such as pepsinogen detection can reflect the functional status of the stomach to a certain extent, but the diagnostic value of specific lesions is relatively low. However, it needs to be clear that although there are these examination methods that do not do gastroscopy, gastroscopy is still a very important means of diagnosing stomach diseases. Gastroscope can directly observe the subtle changes of gastric mucosa, such as inflammation, ulcer, polyp, tumor, etc., and can conduct biopsy to obtain tissue samples for pathological examination to clarify the nature of the lesion.
