Introduction
Gastroscopy (upper endoscopy) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a thin, flexible camera tube to examine the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It is the gold standard for diagnosing gastritis, ulcers, reflux, polyps, and early-stage stomach cancer.
The procedure takes 15–30 minutes under light sedation and is performed by experienced gastroenterologists at JCI-accredited hospitals across China.
Treatment Procedure
Gastroscopy uses a flexible endoscope (about 8–10mm thick) with a high-definition camera to examine the upper digestive tract in real time.
Camera Passage: The scope is gently guided through the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus into the stomach and duodenum. The doctor inspects the entire mucosal lining on a monitor.
Air Insufflation: A small amount of air is pumped through the scope to open the stomach folds so no lesions are hidden. You may feel mild bloating — this is normal.
Biopsy (if needed): Tiny tissue samples (2–3mm) are taken through the scope from any suspicious areas. This is painless and detects H. pylori infection, gastritis, or early cancerous changes.
Therapeutic Intervention (if needed): Polyps can be removed, bleeding ulcers can be injected or clipped, and strictures can be dilated — all through the scope without additional incisions.

Your Endoscopy Journey
1. Contact & Booking
Contact us with your preferred dates. We book the hospital appointment and arrange your escort based on your language needs.
2. Pre-Exam Guidance
Your escort sends you preparation instructions (medication adjustments, fasting rules). They coordinate the pre-exam blood test and ECG schedule.
3. Procedure Day Support
Your escort meets you at the hospital, assists with registration and translation, stays with you through recovery, and accompanies you back to your accommodation.
4. Post-Procedure Follow-Up
Your escort helps collect and translate the biopsy report (if taken), schedules any follow-up appointments, and remains available for questions during your stay.
Aftercare & Recovery
After the procedure, you will be monitored until sedation wears off (about 1 hour). A mild sore throat is common and resolves within 24 hours. You should not drive or make important decisions for the rest of the day.
Your MedChinaGo escort will accompany you back to your accommodation and can assist with scheduling any follow-up appointments or arranging the biopsy report translation.
