Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage

Gastrointestinal hemorrhage refers to bleeding that occurs in the digestive tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and rectum. This bleeding can be caused by various conditions, such as ulcers, tumors, or inflammation. Symptoms may include blood in vomit or stool, abdominal pain, and weakness. The severity of this condition can vary, ranging from mild to life-threatening, depending on the cause and amount of bleeding. Diagnosis often involves medical imaging or endoscopy, and treatment may include medications, procedures to stop the bleeding, or surgery. Prompt medical attention is essential for effective management.
