*urgent* Endoscopy
Hi, yesterday I had endoscopy done for my stomach pain and stomach distension, especially after eating and drinking past 2 months. The endoscopy procedure was done in 1 minute, is it possible to cover all the areas and watch it carefully within a minute? They diagnosed me with Erosive antral gastritis and hiatal hernia (2cm). My only question is, is 1 minute enough to see all things in stomach properly??? I have a fear what if they missed something. Do they capture images later from the video and evaluate all areas before making report?
