Gastric ulcer bleeding is a relatively common complication that is directly related to the amount of bleeding. Minor bleeding can result in positive fecal occult blood and black stools without other systemic symptoms. More severe cases can cause major bleeding, manifesting as vomiting blood or dark red blood in the stool, accompanied by symptoms of anemia. For minor bleeding, proton pump inhibitors and endoscopic hemostasis can be used. If the bleeding is more severe, interventional or surgical treatment options may be considered. It is important to maintain a regular diet, relax, and reduce mental stress for the patient. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a doctor.)
