Gastric bleeding is a relatively serious stomach disease. If not treated in time, it may even lead to shockor death. Moreover, the causative factors of gastric bleeding are very complex. In addition to common factors such as overwork, heavy drinking, and impact, it may also be related to some serious gastric diseases, so be vigilant.
What diseases may be related to gastric bleeding?
1, Esophageal and gastric varices
Esophageal and gastric varices are not simply stomach diseases, but caused by liver cirrhosis. Under normal circumstances, the venous blood in the digestive tract will naturally return to the liver, and Patients with liver diseases, such as liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, will encounter huge resistance when the veins return to the liver, causing esophageal and gastric vein varices. If they are stimulated by hard objects or corroded by gastric acid, gastric bleeding will occur.
2, Gastric ulcer
Gastric ulcer is actually a relatively mild stomach disease. Most of them will cause regular abdominal pain. After taking alkaline drugs, the pain will be relieved. However, if it is not treated promptly and effectively, the gastric mucosa will be eroded or damaged due to various factors, making the ulcer surface larger and larger. When the blood vessels in the gastric wall at the bottom of the ulcer are corroded, they will rupture and cause massive bleeding. At this time, the patient will have a large amount of bloody stools or vomit fresh blood.
3. Acute gastric mucosal injury and bleeding
If you drink alcohol with a relatively high alcohol content in a short period of time, ulcers will appear in the stomach due to stress response, leading to gastric bleeding. In addition, excessive use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can also cause gastric mucosal bleeding due to damage. However, the amount of bleeding caused by taking drugs is usually not very large, and the condition can generally be controlled through conservative treatment.
4, Gastric cancer
Gastric cancer is the most serious stomach disease, and the cancer cells in the stomach grow very fast. When the cancer cells become necrotic or ulcerate, it will cause gastric bleeding. In addition, when the cancer cells secrete venom due to ulceration, the large blood vessels in the stomach will also bleed massively due to corrosion. If the amount of bleeding is not very large, it will usually appear in the form of black stool.
Warm reminder
When bleeding occurs, you should rest in bed, and you should not lie on a pillow. When you vomit blood, you should turn your head to one side, and when you vomit a lot of blood, try not to eat any food. You can eat when you vomit a small amount of blood. Some mild liquid foods , such as noodle soup or milk. In addition, when heavy bleeding occurs, you must receive relevant treatment immediately, such as blood transfusion, fluid infusion, hemostasis, etc. When gastric bleeding is caused by gastric ulcer, gastric lavage with ice salt water is generally used, which is very helpful in reducing the amount of bleeding.
