Gastric ulcer bleeding

Gastroduodenal bleeding is also a common complication of ulcer disease. Small amounts of bleeding often have no clinical symptoms. Found only during fecal occult blood tests. When the amount of bleeding is greater than 500ml, it is a major bleeding, which is mainly manifested by vomiting, fecal blood, and anemia of varying degrees. About 10% of hospitalized patients with ulcers are hospitalized for major bleeding. Although bleeding accounts for the largest proportion of all complications, bleeding has recently increased in proportion to peptic ulcer complications.
