Vomiting a small amount of blood

Vomiting is a physiological reaction that occurs when our stomach or throat is uncomfortable. If we vomit, it may be due to eating unclean food or having a stomach cold. In this case, we just need to pay a little attention. So what should we do if there is a small amount of blood in our vomit? Let’s learn about it with the editor today.

Severe vomiting can cause damage to the stomach or throat mucosa, and there may be a small amount of blood. The six evils of wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, or foul air, invade the stomach, causing the stomach to lose its normal harmony and descending function, and food and water go up with the reverse air, causing vomiting. Due to different seasons, the pathogens we feel will also be different, but generally cold pathogens are the most common.

Overeating, binge eating, eating too much raw and cold food, drinking alcohol, spicy food, sweet, fatty and unclean food can all damage the stomach and spleen, easily causing food stagnation, failure of stomach qi to descend, and vomiting. Anger hurts the liver, causing the liver to lose its order, which in turn affects the stomach, causing stomach qi to rise against the flow. Worry hurts the spleen, causing the spleen to lose its healthy function, making it difficult to digest food, and causing the stomach to lose its harmony and descend, all of which can cause vomiting. The spleen and stomach are usually weak, or the person is weak after an illness, or is overworked, which can damage the vital energy. The weak stomach cannot hold food and water, and the weak spleen cannot transform food into essence, causing food to stagnate in the stomach and rise against the flow, causing vomiting.

The main site of vomiting is the stomach, but it is closely related to the liver and spleen. The basic pathogenesis is stomach disharmony and descending, and stomach qi rising. The pathological nature can be divided into two categories: deficiency and excess. Excess syndrome is caused by external evil, food stagnation, phlegm and fluid, liver qi and other evil spirits invading the stomach, resulting in stomach qi stagnation, disorder of ascending and descending, and nausea caused by qi reversal; deficiency syndrome is caused by deficiency of spleen and stomach qi and yin, disorder of transportation and transformation, and inability to harmonize and descend. Pathological evolution: The initial stage of the disease is mostly solid, and prolonged vomiting will damage the spleen and stomach, weaken the spleen and stomach, and the disease may turn from solid to deficient. There are also cases where the spleen and stomach are weak and damaged by diet, resulting in mixed symptoms of deficiency and excess.

In general, bloody vomiting is not a big problem.
