Is stomach bleeding dangerous?

Question
Hello doctor,
My friend (born in 1999), recently had stomach bleeding. She drank quite a lot the day before, and often stayed up late at night. The doctor asked me if stomach bleeding is dangerous? Does your child need to take you to the hospital, if not, can you take care of yourself at home and how? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is stomach bleeding dangerous? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your friend's condition may be caused by a stomach ulcer causing bleeding, if he is still living normally, it is not an emergency situation.
Ideally, you should take your friend to the doctor to assess the condition of the stomach: Inflammation or ulcer or other damage. From there, the doctor will have a specific treatment direction.
If you still have questions about stomach bleeding, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
