Symptoms of gastric bleeding

Many people cannot eat on time due to their current work, and they drink a lot because of social engagements. The damage to the body caused by drinking on an empty stomach gradually comes to them. One of the more common and painful ones is gastric bleeding. However, many people have no idea about the symptoms of gastric bleeding. Because they don’t understand, they don’t take it seriously, which causes the condition to become more and more serious.

So what kind of disease is gastric bleeding? What are the common symptoms of gastric bleeding? What are the common circumstances in which symptoms of gastric bleeding occur? I believe many people whose family members have this symptom will ask these questions. The following is a detailed introduction:

1. Vomiting blood and/or melena are characteristic manifestations of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients with bleeding above the pylorus often experience vomiting blood and black stools, while patients with bleeding below the pylorus may only experience black stools. However, lesions above the pylorus with a small amount of bleeding and a slow bleeding rate may only cause black stools, while lesions below the pylorus with a large amount of bleeding and a fast bleeding rate may cause vomiting of blood due to the reflux of blood into the stomach.

2. Hemorrhagic peripheral circulatory failure may be asymptomatic if the amount of bleeding is less than 400 ml. Moderate amount of bleeding may cause anemia or progressive anemia, dizziness, weakness, and sudden standing may cause syncope, thirst, cold limbs and low blood pressure.

3. Azotemia.

4. Anemia and changes in blood counts: Acute massive bleeding causes hemorrhagic anemia. In the early stages of bleeding, there may be no obvious changes in hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell count, and hematocrit. Anemia usually takes more than 3 to 4 hours to appear. After 2 to 5 hours of massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding, the white blood cell count may increase significantly and return to normal 2 to 3 days after the bleeding stops. However, in patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism, the white blood cell count may not increase.

5. In cases of moderate fever or massive bleeding, the fever develops within 24 hours, mostly below 38.5 degrees, and lasts from several days to a week.

Through the above introduction, we can understand that there are many symptoms of gastric bleeding. Vomiting blood and black stools are more common symptoms of gastric bleeding. In addition, there are many other situations. However, gastric bleeding is divided into different degrees and cannot be summed up in one sentence. According to different situations, you need to find a professional doctor to make a judgment and find a reasonable treatment method.
