Will gastric bleeding definitely result in black stools?

Because of too much fatigue at work, irregular diet for a long time, not having a good attitude, being always depressed, etc., these reasons can easily cause stomach diseases. Once you suffer from gastric ulcers, it can easily lead to gastric bleeding. The typical symptoms of gastric bleeding are vomiting blood and black stools. If you find that your stool turns black when you defecate and you have a gastric ulcer, then 80% of the time you have gastric bleeding.

Black stools are usually related to upper gastrointestinal bleeding and usually require a gastroscopy. It is recommended to go to the gastroenterology department for further diagnosis and treatment.

There are usually several causes of gastric bleeding. The largest one is peptic ulcer, accounting for 70%, followed by esophageal varices caused by cirrhosis, accounting for 15%, and then there are acute gastritis, gastric tumors and severe trauma. If patients with peptic ulcer drink a lot of alcohol or take cold and anti-inflammatory drugs without authorization, it is very likely to induce massive gastrointestinal bleeding. Because cold medicines and painkillers can cause gastric mucosal lesions and ulcers, and induce massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

The treatment of gastric bleeding is first to stop the bleeding, and at the same time treat the cause. Use antacids, hemostatic drugs and gastric mucosal protective agents, etc. There are many causes of gastric bleeding. If bleeding is caused by acute gastric mucosal lesions caused by drinking or drugs, or by tearing of the cardiac mucosa caused by severe vomiting, the treatment time is relatively short, generally about a week. If bleeding is caused by ulcer disease, regular treatment of the ulcer disease is required even after the bleeding stops. During the treatment period, you cannot eat spicy food and drinking tea is also not good. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, the patient cannot eat in the early stage of treatment. After the condition stabilizes, gradually transition to liquid or semi-liquid food.

For patients with gastric bleeding, any irritating foods should be avoided, such as coffee, gravy, mustard greens, etc. These foods will cause serious irritation to the stomach and damage the gastric mucosa. In addition, you should eat less acidic foods, such as pineapples, oranges, tangerines, etc. Patients with gastric bleeding should not eat hard foods such as fried rice and barbecue.
