What are the dangers of gastric bleeding?

In life, some diseases that do not seem to be very serious may also take the patient's life, especially some stomach diseases, which seem to have no serious symptoms except stomach discomfort. Therefore, some patients are often careless and do not pay attention to these diseases. As time goes by, the condition continues to worsen, and by the time they really want to treat it, it is already too late. Especially gastric bleeding, the harm is very serious.

Dangers of gastric bleeding:

1. Chronic occult bleeding: blood in the stool cannot be observed with the naked eye, and there are no obvious clinical symptoms. Only laboratory tests confirm that the stool is positive for occult blood;

2 Acute massive bleeding: vomiting of large amounts of fresh blood, black or dark red bloody stools, accompanied by environmental disorders and severe anemia, hypotension or shock symptoms may occur, and emergency treatment is often required. Delayed diagnosis and treatment can often lead to death;

3. Chronic overt bleeding: bright red or coffee-colored vomitus or black stools can be observed with the naked eye, and there is no clinical history of circulatory disorders;

4 The second leading cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in young people is acute gastric mucosal lesions, while esophageal varicose vein bleeding is often the second leading cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the elderly.

Gastric bleeding is a common complication of peptic ulcer disease. Generally speaking, you can eat when you have gastric bleeding as long as you don't vomit blood. However, patients with vomiting blood must fast to prevent suffocation caused by vomiting or vomiting blood. Usually, you can consider resuming eating 12 hours after vomiting blood stops, regardless of whether black stools are still present. If vomiting blood occurs again, fasting should be resumed.

For patients with gastric bleeding, they should eat more liquid food during the initial treatment, such as rice soup or lotus root powder, and they can also drink some milk appropriately. When it comes to diet, you must pay attention to eating small meals frequently, avoid eating raw or cold food, and keep it warm. You can eat more of anything that is good for digestion, but avoid spicy or irritating foods.
