Question:
Hello doctor, the condition of stomach bleeding has been treated for 1 week in the hospital. After 1 week of treatment, the patient still had blood in the stool (the endoscopy did not bleed) for 1-2 days, the patient showed no signs of having a bowel movement but vomited blood again.

Answer:
Hi, stomach bleeding (stomach bleeding) is bleeding in the stomach lining when the patient has symptoms of vomiting blood, passing blood.
Causes of stomach bleeding may be due to:
Diseases of gastric ulcer - duodenal; Due to the use of antibiotics, analgesics and anticoagulants; Stomach cancer, benign tumors in the stomach; Mallory Weiss syndrome, vascular; Esophageal pathology; Abuse of alcohol; The stress, tension, anxiety ... You treat stomach bleeding 1 week at the hospital. After 1 week, still see blood in the stool (with endoscopy, no bleeding in the stomach). So you need to tell your doctor more about the color of blood in the stool? Brown, black or red? How is the quantity? How many times? Is there a stomach ache?
After that, vomiting blood appeared, so the amount of color vomit, what is the nature? Is there a lot of vomiting, is it mixed with food? Is there abdominal pain, dizziness? If you vomit a lot of blood, you need to see a gastroenterologist to fully evaluate the recurrence of bleeding and find the cause of your treatment. Wish you health!
