How to perform surgery for gastric bleeding?

The most important digestive organ in our human body is the stomach. We must pay enough attention to the stomach and always protect its health. However, things are unpredictable, and some people are prone to stomach problems, and in severe cases, they may even suffer from heavy bleeding. Gastric bleeding is not a trivial matter, but not all gastric bleeding requires surgery. It depends on the specific cause of the gastric bleeding.

Caused by diet: The stomach has a strong tolerance, but if you drink alcohol for a long time, it will cause gastric bleeding. However, this type of gastric bleeding does not require surgery, because the bleeding is caused by the precipitation of alcohol and damage to the gastric mucosa. As long as you control yourself and do not continue to drink alcohol, our body will automatically adjust.

Inflammations such as esophagitis: Gastric bleeding caused by inflammation due to esophageal lesions does not require surgery. Inflammation is diffusible, and the esophagus is closely connected to the stomach. If the esophagus is inflamed, your stomach will inevitably be infected soon, and you will have mild vomiting of blood. The symptoms can be slowed down and cured through drug treatment.

Gastric ulcer and perforation: This is caused by extreme alcoholism or severe inflammation. The entire stomach will become ulcerated and blackened. You must undergo surgery for this condition. Delaying treatment will cause the entire stomach to ulcerate, resulting in severe vomiting of blood and black stools. Seek medical treatment promptly.

In what cases does gastric bleeding require surgery?

1. 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;

2. 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;

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.

In short, when we have some problems with our bodies in life, we cannot see them with our eyes, but can only rely on our own feelings to feel where exactly in the body is uncomfortable. Therefore, when you have stomach pain or stomach discomfort, it is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to avoid worsening of the condition.
