The upper departments of the gastrointestinal tract include the esophagus, stomach and duodenal intestine. The most common cause of bleeding from these departments is complicated ulcerative disease. But it is worth highlighting a number of other diseases that can also cause bleeding and have their own specific symptoms. It is very important to know the place of localization of bleeding and its reason, for the adoption of the right therapeutic measures.
How to reveal esophageal bleeding
The esophagus is a muscular tube of about 30 cm long. It has longitudinal folds and is able to push the food lump with a wave-like cutting of the muscles. The medium of the esophagus is weakly, which practically eliminates the formation of peptic ulcers in it, which are often found in the stomach and the twelfth intersection.
- Syndrome Malory - Weis. This is a gap of the esophageal wall, the cause of which is frequent and intense vomiting. Most often arises in people who are over-consuming alcohol, in pregnant and mentally unhealthy people who specifically cause vomiting after each eating. After the esophagus wall is broken, the vomites have in their composition of blood impurities. If bleeding is serious, a person can tear one only blood. The disease is treated by crossing the wall of the esophagus.
- Varicose extension of the veins of the esophagus. This pathology most often occurs during the cirrhosis of the liver when the pressure in the portal vein system increases. Extended venous plexus is located in the lower departure of the esophagus. You can suspect this pathology, if you often experience pain or discomfort after swallowing hard food. Such food can damage the wall of the vein and lead to bleeding. The blood is dense and dark, forms a bunch and causes vomiting. It is treated by a surgical way with the assay on the vessels of elastic rings.
How to recognize gastric bleeding
The stomach is a muscular bag, in which the primary digestion is occurring with a gastric juice. Gastric juice has high acidity, which is achieved due to hydrochloric acid. It also includes digestive enzymes. The wall of the stomach is protected by a special layer of mucus from an acid action.
Ulcer stomach. It may occur with incorrect nutrition, frequent stress, increased acidity and as a side effect of some anti-inflammatory funds. Also, ulcers often arise against the background of infection with bacteria (Helicobacter Pylori). For this disease, the pain is characterized at the top of the abdomen, arising after feeding. It can still be disturbed by nausea and vomiting by black blood, which acquires such a color after reaction with hydrochloric acid.
Noticing such symptoms, it is necessary to consult a doctor for fibrogastroscopy. Treatment begins with a diet that excludes everything fried, oily, sharp, hot, cold and having a rich taste. Next, it is necessary to reduce the acidity of the stomach to give the possibility of ulcers to delay. For this purpose, the proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, omens, Rabeprazole) are used. Therapy is complemented by drugs that have a protective effect on the gastric mucosa (Almagel). When bacteria is detected, several antibiotics are prescribed with bismuth preparations (de nol).
Bleeding of the twelfth intestine
In this departure of the intestine, ulcers are often formed. But for them, a characteristic pain arising 2 hours after eating or at night. Treatment of duodenal ulcers is carried out by analogy with the treatment of stomach ulcers. If bleeding is strong, it is stopped by an endoscopic method.
It is worth mentioning that when bleeding from the top sections of the gastrointestinal tract, the stool is painted in black. If you have discovered the symptoms described above, immediately consult a doctor.
