Will gastric bleeding cause stomach pain?

Gastric bleeding is not necessarily accompanied by stomach pain.

Specific symptoms of gastric bleeding:

The clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal bleeding depend on the nature, location, amount of blood loss and rate of bleeding lesions, and are related to the patient's age, renal function and other systemic conditions.

Vomiting blood and black stools: Anyone who suffers from nausea and vomiting due to the stimulation of blood after bleeding may experience 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.

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.

Symptoms of primary disease: The most common causes of gastric 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.

To sum up, the symptoms of gastric bleeding do not necessarily include pain, but vomiting blood and black stools are typical symptoms of gastric bleeding. If you find yourself with these two symptoms, do not hesitate and go to the hospital immediately. Only in this way can you cure gastric bleeding as soon as possible, resume normal life and enjoy delicious food.
