How is gastric bleeding diagnosed?

If our body is particularly healthy, we will definitely not vomit blood, and the color of our stool will not turn black. If you have symptoms of vomiting blood or black stools, it means that there is a serious problem with your body. If these two symptoms occur at the same time, it is very likely that you have gastric bleeding. How to diagnose gastric bleeding?

Gastric bleeding is the most common cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, accounting for about 70%. Common diseases that cause acute gastric bleeding include gastric and duodenal bulb ulcers, gastric cancer, hemorrhagic gastritis, acute ulcers caused by oral drugs such as aspirin and cortisone, stress ulcers caused by severe burns and major surgery, etc.

1. Vomiting blood and black stools: Anyone who suffers from nausea and vomiting due to blood stimulation after bleeding may have 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.

2. 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.

3. Symptoms of primary disease: The most 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 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.
