Patient's question:
I have stomach bloating, and it seems like there's a rice ball stuck in my throat every day. How long should I not eat before a gastroscopy?Doctor's answer:
Narrating the symptoms may suggest the possibility of gastritis, which can be confirmed through a careful endoscopy examination. An endoscopy requires a fasting examination, generally requiring an 8-12 hour fasting period. Do not defecate for one hour after the examination! Also, avoid strenuous exercise! For patients with bloating, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also necessary for patients to pay attention to maintaining healthy eating habits in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above answer can assist you!
