What Causes Symptoms of Gastric Bleeding?

Gastric bleeding symptoms may result from gastric ulcers. Consuming strong or low-quality alcohol can cause dilation and congestion of blood vessels in the stomach, leading to profuse bleeding—resembling a gushing spring—that may exit through the mouth and nose. An upper gastrointestinal barium X-ray examination can help identify the underlying cause, while routine blood tests and biochemical assays can estimate the volume of blood loss. Patients should seek prompt medical attention at a hospital, where endoscopic interventions—such as endoscopic hemostatic clipping or use of a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube—can be performed to control bleeding and alleviate associated discomfort.
