Whether it is important to have old blood crust in stomach depends on the cause of gastric bleeding, most of the bleeding caused by chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer can be treated well, and bleeding from esophageal vein in the fundus of stomach can be controlled actively, but bleeding caused by gastric cancer is a more serious condition.
Chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer can invade the blood vessels under gastric mucosa and cause gastric bleeding. If there is old blood crust in the stomach, which suggests that the bleeding volume is small and inactive, the patient can be treated actively for the primary disease to avoid bleeding again, and the treatment effect is generally better.
If the gastric bleeding is caused by esophagogastric fundic varices, it is highly suggestive that the patient is already in the uncompensated stage of liver cirrhosis, and the condition is more serious. While actively treating the primary liver disease, attention should be paid to the prevention of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and preventive measures can be taken when the risk of bleeding is high, such as endoscopic treatment and portal venous shunt surgery.
If the patient’s old intragastric bleeding is caused by gastric cancer, the condition is serious, highly suggesting that the tumor has already invaded blood vessels, and it is easy to metastasize to distant organs through blood channels, and once distant metastasis occurs, the patient is already in the advanced stage of cancer.
When finding the old bleeding in stomach, it is suggested that patients should go to hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause of gastric bleeding in time and then treat it accordingly.
