Patients with symptoms of vomiting blood should go to the hospital promptly.
Patients with symptoms of vomiting blood are advised to go to the hospital promptly because it is difficult to determine the severity of the condition on their own. The first step is to roughly distinguish the site of bleeding, such as whether it is vomiting or hemoptysis. If there is bleeding from the mouth, teeth, or nose, you can treat it locally on your own, and then go to a stomatologist or otolaryngologist.
Except for the above, the main causes of vomiting blood in patients are:
1. Stomach disease. If the patient suffers from a stomach disorder, the vomiting of blood may be caused by a disorder of the stomach itself. The more common ones are gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, acute lesions of the gastric mucosa, gastric cancer, etc.
2. Non-stomach diseases: such as vascular bleeding in the esophagus leading to blood vomiting, common diseases include varices and rupture of the esophagogastric fundic vein due to cirrhosis of the liver and tearing of the esophageal cardia mucosa due to severe vomiting.
3. Systemic diseases: such as DIC due to virulent infectious diseases and severe infections, coagulation dysfunction due to hematologic diseases, etc.
If the patient has a large amount of vomiting blood or repeatedly vomits blood several times, and signs such as dizziness, weakness, palpitations, sweating, and low blood pressure appear, the patient should be immediately called for 120 ambulance service and promptly taken to the hospital for resuscitation treatment to save the patient’s life.
