[summation]

 

1. I went to the general hospital closest to my house to get a health checkup.

 

2. I had a non-sedated gastroscopy at that hospital and was diagnosed with reflux esophagitis.

 

3. I was diagnosed with reflux esophagitis, but I had no symptoms before that, and I consistently took the prescribed medication to treat the reflux esophagitis.

 

 

 

I went to a general hospital that was as close to my home as possible and also reliable to get a health checkup.

After undergoing various tests, I decided to undergo a non-sedation upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

However, I was told that I had to sign a document to undergo a non-sedation upper endoscopy, so I signed it.

 

The signature stated that if any polyps were found in the esophagus or stomach, they would be removed during the examination and sent for a biopsy.

I was given local anesthesia before undergoing the non-invasive gastroscopy, and the procedure was carried out systematically.

 

It was really hard to breathe during the non-sedation gastroscopy, but the doctor and nurse guided me calmly and well!

It was really hard to breathe during the non-sedation gastroscopy, but it was over quickly so it was bearable.

 

To confirm the non-sleep upper gastrointestinal endoscopy,

It may vary from hospital to hospital, but at this hospital, you'll either have to wait a long time today or come back later to check the test results.

 

So we're waiting to see the test results.

There were a lot of patients waiting in the gastroenterology department, so it took a long time.

And then I went in to check the inspection.

 

The doctor diagnosed me with reflux esophagitis. Strangely, my reflux esophagitis was so mild that I didn't have any symptoms.

To treat reflux esophagitis, I was told that I only needed to take the prescribed medication consistently for about a month and a half.

 

So, to treat my reflux esophagitis, I took the prescribed medication every single day without missing a single day.

So I thought that my reflux esophagitis was completely cured.

And I don't know if the reflux treatment has been completed,

I went to the gastroenterology department for an outpatient visit.

 

So I asked him if he was taking his medication for reflux esophagitis well, and he said yes.

So, we decided to have an upper gastroesophageal endoscopy within a year to check if the reflux esophagitis was cured.

So I answered that I would do that to treat my reflux esophagitis.

 

So, after about a year, I had an endoscopy.

It was confirmed that reflux esophagitis was cured.

I showed you the pictures.

 

Additionally, I will introduce some ways to prevent reflux esophagitis.

It is said that you should not lie down for 2-3 hours after eating, as it is easy for stomach acid to reflux after eating.

And regular exercise is also good for improving digestive function!

Stress increases stomach acid secretion, so it is better to avoid stress.

 

What I feel while going through this series of processes is,

It is important to treat the disease, but

If possible, prevent disease

I think it would be wiser~
