What are the tests for gastrointestinal bleeding?

Patient's question:

In September 2011, I received medical treatment in Suizhong and had black stools. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as gastric bleeding. It recurred after a year. Let's do another check-up first. Hmm, what kind of check-up was missed?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, recurring black stools should be considered a sign of gastrointestinal bleeding. In this case, you can undergo an endoscopy and a liver and gallbladder ultrasound to identify the cause of the bleeding. If it is a simple gastric ulcer or gastritis, regular treatment for the gastric ulcer is necessary. Both before and after treatment, dietary precautions are essential. Spicy, dry, extremely cold, and hard foods should be avoided to prevent the recurrence of the gastric ulcer, which in turn can prevent further bleeding. In addition to timely treatment for gastric bleeding, patients should maintain a positive attitude towards the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immune system and strengthen their belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor changes in their symptoms, believing that this will surely drive away the gastric bleeding.
