Symptoms of intestinal bleeding

In life, when you feel stomach pain, nausea and black stools at the same time, it is very likely that intracranial bleeding has occurred. Patients should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying treatment, which will make the condition more serious and lead to more serious consequences. While undergoing treatment, you should also adjust your eating habits in your life so that your body can recover as soon as possible.

Symptoms of intestinal bleeding

1. Intestinal bleeding. The main symptom is bloody stool or black stool, and there may also be symptoms such as abdominal pain. It is necessary to combine the corresponding examinations to clearly diagnose this situation. Generally, a colonoscopy is required first to check the lesions in the intestine. If it is inflammation, oral or intravenous antibiotics are needed to control the infection. If it is ulcerative colitis, drugs that suppress the immune response are needed.

2. Most patients experience nausea, upper abdominal discomfort or pain before bleeding. Those with heavy bleeding may experience dizziness, blurred vision, cold sweats, general fatigue, pale complexion, rapid pulse and low blood pressure. Vomited blood is often dark red and mixed with food residues (if the bleeding is rapid and the amount is large, it may also be bright red). It may also be coffee-colored or tar-like, but "black stools" caused by the patient drinking wine, cherry juice, brown medicine or iron supplements should be ruled out.

Care methods

1. Stop drinking

2. Eat soft food with little residue and easy to digest to prevent food from cutting the tortuous venous plexus. Vegetables should be chopped and softened. Avoid root vegetables that are high in fiber. The meat is softened using tender shredded or minced meat, and is cooked using methods such as stewing, boiling, and steaming. Do not eat fried food, and it is better to eat fermented soft food such as bread, steamed cake and steamed bun as staple food which is easy to digest. Avoid eating hard and rough foods, such as whole grains, lettuce and fruits, as well as chicken and fish with bones. Eat less acid- and gas-producing foods: sweet potatoes can increase stomach acid, and gas-producing foods such as radishes and garlic sprouts can easily cause bloating. Avoid strong stimulating condiments such as chili peppers.

3. Keep bowel movements smooth and avoid straining during bowel movements, coughing, etc., which increase abdominal pressure.

4. Pay attention to rest and avoid overwork.

5. We should not only pay attention to the disease and actively cooperate with the treatment, but also cultivate an optimistic mood; due to the long duration of illness, repeated symptoms and concerns about prognosis, people often have a heavy mental burden and are emotionally unstable. Modern medicine has discovered that emotions are closely related to the function of the body's immune system. Treating illness and life with an optimistic and positive attitude can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.
