Whether or not stomach bleeding leads to death is directly related to how much bleeding there is and how fast it occurs, as well as to the cause of the bleeding and the underlying disease.
If it is a small amount of gastric bleeding, the bleeding rate is very slow and usually causes anemia, which does not lead to death, and the patient will have symptoms such as pallor, palpitations and shortness of breath.
If it is acute gastric bleeding, a large amount of bleeding in a short period of time, accompanied by vomiting blood, if not treated in time it is easy to hemorrhagic shock, cold limbs, blood pressure can not be detected, and in serious cases, it will lead to death.
There are many causes of gastric bleeding, such as gastric ulcer bleeding, gastric cancer erosion of gastric submucosal blood vessels caused by gastric bleeding, gastroesophageal varices rupture and so on. The prognosis of bleeding caused by gastric ulcer is generally better, while the prognosis of gastric bleeding caused by gastric cancer encroaching on the submucosal blood vessels of the stomach and bleeding caused by rupture of gastroesophageal varices is worse.
Elderly people with more underlying diseases have a poorer prognosis of gastric bleeding than those without underlying diseases.
When acute gastric bleeding occurs, it is necessary to be admitted to the hospital in time for examination, to clarify the cause of the disease and to carry out appropriate treatment, and to be evaluated by a professional doctor in order to avoid endangering the life of the patient.
