Shine the stomach. Does it hurt? Is it expensive?
The beginning of the story is that we have constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, indigestion and abdominal pain, awkwardness, and strange pain in the middle of the torso. Lively, which was for many years. Last year I detected PCOS. Took medicine until menstruation returned to normal, stopped taking medicine and trying to take care of health. Over the years, the abdominal pain was detected, but there was no abnormality, but the latter became more frequent and painful, so I want to check more carefully. 😭
📍 decided to see a doctor in Siriraj one afternoon. He said there was no walk in queue.
The next day I went back at 5: 00. I started screening at 7: 00.
In summary, the doctor's queue is still free, and the earliest is almost a month from the date of the appointment (just an appointment, talk to the doctor, will not be endoscopic).
We can ask how to check it sooner, at an extra cost, and we can check for acid reflux from the old place.
The officer suggested to ask another building. The other building suggested to go to H solution. Pay more ~ 1 thousand to see a doctor.
So we decided to see a doctor that evening, and we got a gastroscope appointment four days later.
It will cost about 13-25k at the notice of the officer.
📍 summarize the appointment date, go 1 hour before the appointment time, submit the appointment card, go to bed, wait for 2 hours, break open the salt water, it's time to be wheeled into the examination room, anesthesia, no procedure hurts (anesthesia is too sensitive 😅), take from the examination room to wake up is half an hour.
So I found a red piece in the stomach. The doctor collected the piece in two weeks to hear the results.
In conclusion, there is nothing wrong with the doctor's diagnosis of irritable bowel + gastritis, which is irritable bowel. This is the main reason for constipation and diarrhea. The main one, we think, is our stress. The doctor recommends to take care of both stress and diet (the doctor recommends taking foods with low FODMAPs).

💪🏼 summary of the ~ 11k endoscopic cost at Siriraj cheaper than the notice. The care staff is very good. Thank you to all the officers.
After that, there is a cost for following up and receiving the drug with the H solution.
Would like to share the experience in case anyone is worried about a similar problem. If anyone is worried, we wish everything to go well. Take care of your health. 🙇🏻♀️
