During the procedure, the patient is in a state of medicated sleep while the physician carefully examines the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. After waking up, you can calmly discuss the results and get answers to all your questions.
At Silk Medical in Tbilisi and Batumi, gastroscopy is performed using modern endoscopic equipment, which helps detect gastrointestinal conditions at early stages.
Is Gastroscopy Under Sedation the Same as “General Anesthesia”?
Gastroscopy is performed under sedation — the patient enters a state of medicated sleep and experiences no discomfort during the procedure.
Many people worry that they will feel the same way as after surgery under general anesthesia: nausea, severe weakness, or disorientation. However, the medicated sleep used during gastroscopy is usually tolerated far more easily.
After the procedure is complete, the patient gradually wakes up under the supervision of medical staff. In most cases, the person feels well after a short time and can go home following the doctor’s recommendations.
When Should You Have a Gastroscopy?
The examination may be recommended for the following symptoms:
- pain or discomfort in the stomach area.
- heartburn.
- heaviness after eating.
- nausea.
- frequent belching.
- difficulty swallowing.
- decreased appetite.
Gastroscopy allows for the timely detection of gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, reflux disease, polyps, and other gastrointestinal conditions.
Don’t Wait Until It Hurts
Stomach conditions do not always make themselves known at early stages. That is exactly why gastroscopy is performed not only when symptoms are present, but also for preventive purposes.
With age, the risk of developing gastrointestinal conditions increases. After the age of 40–45, doctors recommend paying closer attention to digestive health and undergoing examinations regularly, even when you feel well.
Gastroscopy makes it possible to detect inflammatory changes, polyps, precancerous conditions, and other pathologies at early stages, when treatment is most effective.
