What color is stomach bleeding?

In life, most people don’t have a good understanding of some medical knowledge, and there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, the pace of life is too slow nowadays, and every day is spent on work, leaving little spare time to learn some medical knowledge. Therefore, most people still don’t understand diseases such as gastric bleeding. If you usually have symptoms of vomiting blood, what color of blood means you have gastric bleeding?

Because the blood and stomach acid mix and react, the vomited blood is brown, and there are also discomforts such as bloating and stomach pain. After a while, black stools will appear.

The 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. But when vomiting blood occurs, we must first determine the source of the blood, is it from the lungs or the stomach?

The blood from the lungs is brought out through the trachea by coughing, and is vomited out in one or several mouthfuls, a very small amount. Even if there is a large amount of pulmonary bleeding, it is far less than that from gastric bleeding. The blood vomited out from gastric bleeding comes out through the esophagus, giving a feeling of vomiting, with a fierce momentum, like a spring, and a large amount, sometimes even vomited out with food residues. This is the characteristic of gastric bleeding.

Gastric bleeding is often a complication of gastric ulcer or duodenal bleeding, so patients with gastric ulcer and duodenal bleeding must take precautions in their daily lives and never do things that harm the stomach and intestines. They should also be more cautious with food and never drink excessive amounts of alcohol. You should eat more liquid food and more fruits and vegetables.
