Patient's question:
First episode was in April 1997, and there have been 4 episodes so far. The initial illness might have been related to alcohol consumption, and it has been recurring ever since. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, it is considered to be upper gastrointestinal bleeding. First, go to a formal hospital to undergo relevant examinations to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment. If there is a significant amount of bleeding in the short term, medication should be administered first. You have a history of alcohol consumption, so there may be harm to the gastric mucosa. It is recommended that you undergo an endoscopy to check for local inflammation. If you currently have symptoms of liver damage, such as jaundice, attention should also be paid to the possibility of alcoholic cirrhosis.Patients face the harm of gastric bleeding, and we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles. Avoid delaying medical treatment. If the gastric bleeding does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
