Can stomach ulcers cause bleeding?
Gastric ulcers with bleeding are relatively common in clinical practice, and bleeding is a common complication of gastric ulcers, so it is considered that gastric ulcers can lead to bleeding. The typical clinical manifestation of a gastric ulcer is abdominal pain. Of course, gastrointestinal bleeding is a common complication, generally presenting as vomiting blood or passing bloody stools, with a considerable amount of bleeding leading to vomiting blood in patients. The diagnosis of gastric ulcers relies on gastroscopy. Therefore, in clinical practice, if patients seek medical advice due to abdominal pain or gastrointestinal bleeding, and gastric ulcers are suspected, we recommend that patients promptly complete a gastroscopy to assess the condition. When patients with gastric ulcers experience bleeding, it is advisable for them to fast and intensify treatment with oral stomach-protecting drugs. Of course, if the blood pressure is low and vital signs are unstable, some medications to replenish blood volume might be added, and if necessary, surgical operations to stop the bleeding may be performed.
