What are the symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding

I believe many people have heard of the phenomenon of gastrointestinal bleeding, which is very frightening. There are many reasons for it, but it is generally caused by gastrointestinal diseases. Currently, clinical treatment is first performed through X-ray examination. Those with mild cases are temporarily fasted and observed. Those with severe cases require oxygen inhalation, blood transfusion or other means of treatment. In addition to bleeding symptoms, gastrointestinal bleeding is also accompanied by other symptoms. This article briefly introduces the symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Symptoms of gastric bleeding are mainly vomiting blood and bloody stools. The patient feels nauseous before vomiting blood, feels the urge to defecate before having bloody stools, has black eyes, palpitations, and even fainting after defecation, and has a pale face, thirst, a rapid and weak pulse, and low blood pressure.

The clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal bleeding depend on the nature, location, amount of blood loss and rate of bleeding lesions, and are related to the patient's age, renal function and other systemic conditions.

Vomiting blood and black stools: Anyone who suffers from nausea and vomiting due to the stimulation of blood after bleeding may experience vomiting blood. If the blood is vomited out immediately after bleeding, it will be bright red; if the blood stays in the stomach for a period of time and is then vomited out after being acted upon by gastric acid, it will be brown like coffee grounds. In addition to vomiting, more blood is discharged from the intestines. Since hemoglobin forms black iron sulfide through the action of sulfide in the intestine, the blood discharged is usually tarry black stool. Only when the amount of bleeding is large and the blood passes through the intestines quickly, the discharged blood will be dark red, or occasionally bright red. Generally speaking, when the amount of bleeding is heavy, there will be black stools and vomiting of blood; when the amount of bleeding is light, there will often be only black stools. If the bleeding site is in the duodenum, vomiting blood is less common.

Systemic symptoms caused by bleeding: If the bleeding rate is slow and the amount is small, there are generally no obvious systemic symptoms, and anemia only occurs after a long period of bleeding. If the amount of bleeding is large and rapid, symptoms of acute blood loss such as palpitations, cold sweats, pale complexion, and even low blood pressure may occur.

Symptoms of primary disease: The most common causes of gastric bleeding are ulcer disease, rupture of esophageal varices, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer or duodenal cancer, acute gastric mucosal injury and bleeding, etc. If it is ulcer bleeding, there is often a history of upper abdominal pain before bleeding; if it is esophageal varicose vein bleeding, there is a history of cirrhosis and clinical manifestations of cirrhosis. If you find yourself having the symptoms mentioned above, you should pay more attention! If the condition is serious, go to the hospital for treatment.
