1. Gastric juice analysis: Gastric juice analysis is the oldest and most commonly used method for diagnosing stomach diseases. It refers to the extraction of gastric juice for the measurement and examination of relevant indicators (such as gastric acid) to determine whether the gastric juice is normal. It mainly includes three items, namely general properties inspection, chemical inspection and microscopic inspection. Gastric juice analysis can not only reflect whether a person's gastric acid secretion is normal, but also has certain significance for the diagnosis of gastric ulcer, duodenal bulb ulcer, and even gastric cancer.

2. X-ray barium meal examination: X-ray barium meal examination is also called X-ray barium meal angiography. It means that the patient takes barium sulfate filling agent orally, which can clearly show the outline of the stomach during X-ray fluoroscopy. X-ray barium meal examination can diagnose a variety of diseases such as gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric perforation, gastric bleeding and pyloric obstruction. In addition, in the past decade or so, there has been great progress in double contrast imaging of the gastrointestinal tract with barium meals.

3. Gastroscopy: Fiber gastroscopy is currently the most diagnostically valuable and most commonly used method for gastric diseases. It has the characteristics of wide field of view, safe examination, intuitive images, accurate and timely diagnosis, reliable information and convenient treatment. It can be used to diagnose gastric ulcer, gastritis and diseases of the duodenum and esophagus. During the examination, the doctor directly inserts the endoscope into the patient's mouth through the esophagus into the stomach cavity. In this way, the condition of the gastric mucosa can be directly observed, and whether there are ulcers or bleeding can be clearly seen, and benign and malignant ulcers can be differentiated, and whether it is gastric polyps or gastric cancer, etc. can be distinguished. During gastroscopy, living tissue can be taken for pathological examination (also called gastric mucosal biopsy), which facilitates a clear diagnosis and greatly improves the detection rate of early gastric cancer. Gastroscopy is not only used for diagnosis, but also for treatment. For example, when gastric bleeding is found, microwaves or lasers can be used to stop the bleeding, or Montegg's solution or thrombin can be sprayed directly on the bleeding site to stop the bleeding, thus saving the patient from the pain of surgery. In addition, the gastroscope also has functions such as water supply, water absorption, air supply and air extraction.

4. Other laboratory tests: Routine blood test is also one of the most commonly used tests, which is mainly used to check anemia caused by various stomach diseases. Routine stool examination and fecal occult blood test are commonly used examination methods for diagnosing gastric bleeding.
