What should patients with gastric bleeding pay attention to?

Medically speaking, gastric bleeding is generally caused by duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer. Of course, there may be other reasons, such as not paying attention to your living habits in daily life, always working overtime, having no regularity when eating, being often in a state of mental tension, etc. It may also be caused by acute hemorrhagic gastritis leading to gastric bleeding. So, what should we pay attention to when we have gastric bleeding?

1. Gastric bleeding: When vomiting blood occurs, the first thing to do is to determine the source of the blood. Is it from the lungs or the stomach?

2. Regular diet: Studies have shown that eating regularly, at regular times and in regular amounts, can form a conditioned reflex, help the secretion of digestive glands, and facilitate digestion.

3. Supplement vitamin C: Vitamin C has a protective effect on the stomach. Maintaining a normal level of vitamin C in gastric juice can effectively exert the function of the stomach, protect the stomach and enhance the stomach's resistance to disease. Therefore, eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C.

4. Chew slowly to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. The more you chew your food, the more saliva you will secrete, which has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa.

5. Avoid drinking alcohol: use medication rationally. Avoid contact with and consumption of toxic substances that may damage the liver, such as alcohol, certain drugs and chemicals. Aspirin should be used with caution to avoid inducing gastrointestinal mucosal bleeding.

We would like to remind all patients with gastric bleeding that if gastric bleeding is not treated in time, long-term bleeding may easily cause anemia, and if it is severe, it may cause massive bleeding and be life-threatening. Therefore, once you develop gastric bleeding, you must go to the hospital immediately for correct treatment and never ignore the harm caused by this disease.
