Can I exercise after a gastroscopy?

Gastroscopy is actually a way to understand your gastrointestinal health. There are many ways to check, and patients with gastrointestinal diseases need to do these examinations, but we all know that if these examinations are not done in accordance with certain principles, it may also affect your health invisibly. So let's analyze for everyone whether patients can exercise after gastroscopy.

Normal exercise is fine, such as walking.

If it is a painless gastroscopy, don't exercise because your body has been exposed to the anesthetic Liquorice. Just rest at home.

If it's the other case, and you're in so much pain but can still exercise as if nothing happened, then that's fine. However, the mucous membranes of the esophagus and stomach are somewhat damaged. Too stimulating movements will still have an impact on the body. It would be better to take a rest and let the body adjust.

Avoid eating irritating foods such as coffee, strong tea, chili peppers, etc.

First eat lighter liquid or semi-liquid foods, such as rice soup, porridge, etc.

Gradually increase the intake of protein foods, but avoid greasy and fried foods, and eat in small amounts at the beginning. After the gastrointestinal function recovers, you can start eating normally and pay attention to rest.

Adjust your mindset, pay attention to rest, and avoid excessive anxiety and fatigue.

Quit smoking and drinking, eat regularly, and avoid overdosing.

Do not eat frozen or very hot food or drinks. The temperature of food should be moderate. Tea, water and soup should not be too hot.

Although these are some details in life, we cannot ignore them. Because many times if we do not follow these principles and exercise blindly, it may cause certain diseases to worsen and cause greater harm. Therefore, to ensure our health, we should pay more attention to these issues.
