How to treat stomach bleeding
Disease description:
I've been passing black stools for the past few days, along with mild dizziness. The doctor diagnosed it as gastrointestinal bleeding. I felt somewhat better after receiving an intravenous drip. Could you please advise how gastric bleeding can be treated and cured?

Dr. Zhou Chao
Patients with gastrointestinal bleeding should first be hospitalized for intravenous fluid therapy. Those with more severe conditions may require surgical treatment. Patients are advised to take gastrointestinal bleeding seriously. Common causes include peptic ulcers, stomach cancer, and erosive gastritis. It is important to seek timely evaluation and management from a gastroenterologist. In addition to treating the bleeding, medical conservative treatment should also be administered. Medications such as omeprazole and lansoprazole can help suppress gastric acid secretion. If an infection is present, antibiotic therapy will be necessary.
