From a medical point of view, gastric bleeding is also a stomach disease that is quite harmful to the human body. To be more serious, if gastric bleeding is not treated optimally, as the disease continues to worsen, it may take away the patient's precious life. Therefore, symptoms of gastric bleeding are very serious. We should learn more about the symptoms of gastric bleeding in order to help us detect this disease earlier.

1. Symptoms of primary disease: Common causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding are ulcer disease, rupture of esophageal varices, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer or duodenal cancer, acute gastric mucosal injury and bleeding, etc. If the bleeding is caused by ulcer disease, there is often a history of upper abdominal pain before the bleeding.

2. If it is esophageal varicose vein bleeding, there is a history of liver cirrhosis and clinical manifestations of liver cirrhosis;

3. Vomiting blood and black stools: Anyone who suffers from nausea and vomiting due to blood stimulation after bleeding may have vomiting blood. 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, hematemesis is less common;

4. Systemic symptoms: 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.

In addition to the above-mentioned obvious symptoms, some patients with gastric bleeding may also experience fever. Specifically, the fever after suffering from gastric bleeding will not exceed 38.5 degrees, but will last for about five days. This may be related to the abnormal temperature regulation function of the patient's body. Therefore, if you find these symptoms, you must go to the hospital to have a doctor check.
