Traditionally, patients undergoing gastrointestinal examinations have had to endure swallowing long flexible tubes during endoscopy, often leading to intense feelings of nausea. However, the recent introduction of capsule endoscopy has provided a new, less burdensome option, where patients can simply ingest a pill-sized device for an 8-hour intestinal imaging process. This advancement allows for easier and more comfortable testing of the digestive system, with the capsule being naturally expelled from the body within 1 to 3 days, offering a wider examination range and potentially higher lesion detection rate compared to traditional methods.
