Symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding

The color of stool can reflect the physical condition. Sometimes eating dark-colored foods will cause abnormal stool color. For example, eating spinach will turn the stool green, and eating peppers will turn the stool a little red. But when you find that the color of the stool turns black and is accompanied by bleeding, it may not be caused by eating black foods such as fungus and sesame seeds. It may be gastrointestinal bleeding.

The most common symptom of gastrointestinal bleeding is black stools, so you must take it seriously. Sometimes there will be blood in the stool or vomiting of blood. Friends often have hangovers and think that they vomited blood because they drank too much, but in fact, it is not the case. It is very likely gastrointestinal bleeding.

There are many factors that cause gastrointestinal bleeding, such as excessive drinking, peptic ulcer and acute gastritis, etc., which can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, but the amount of bleeding is not much. Most of the symptoms can disappear and be relieved, but if the cause is not removed, it is easy to recur. Treatment depends on the cause and treatment should be based on the cause.

Treatment considerations:

(1) Develop the habit of regular bowel movements, preferably loose and mushy stools.

(2) Reduce postures that increase abdominal pressure, such as squatting and holding your breath. Avoid sitting, standing, walking for long periods of time and overwork.

(3) Avoid spicy, greasy, rough, and residue-rich foods, as well as tobacco, alcohol, and coffee.

(4) Eat more foods that have the effects of clearing intestinal heat, nourishing and nourishing the mucous membrane, and promoting bowel movements and stopping bleeding, such as raw pear juice, lotus root juice,

Water chestnut juice, reed root juice, celery juice, carrot, white radish (cooked), bitter gourd, eggplant, cucumber, spinach, etc.

(5) Be cheerful and don’t get upset or angry. A bad mood, irritability and depression will cause the intestinal mucosa to contract and blood circulation to be obstructed.

(6) Reduce sexual intercourse. Frequent sexual intercourse can cause congestion of the intestinal mucosa. Increased bleeding.

However, even if it is really gastrointestinal bleeding, don't be too nervous or afraid. Face the problem scientifically and rationally with a positive attitude.
