How long does it take for gastrointestinal bleeding in newborns to heal?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, my best friend gave birth to a little baby, but around two days after the baby was born, it was discovered that the baby had gastrointestinal bleeding. How long does it take for gastrointestinal bleeding in newborns to heal?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of gastrointestinal bleeding in newborns are very complex. It may be due to gastrointestinal diseases or systemic diseases. In this case, it is recommended to perform an endoscopy to identify the source of bleeding and then proceed with local treatment. Hemostatic drugs are recommended for treatment. Generally, as long as active treatment is provided, the condition will gradually improve over time. It is also important to strengthen the care of newborns during daily life. Generally, the prognosis for this disease is still very good.
