If the following two points of liver cirrhosis occur, you should be alert!

Patients with cirrhosis will have a tendency to bleed when they reach the decompensated stage. Patients generally do not know what causes it. There are mainly the following points:

1. Vomiting blood. Patients with cirrhosis will have esophageal varices in the decompensated stage. Vomiting blood means that the blood vessels of the varicose veins are ruptured, and the amount of bleeding reaches more than 250-300 ml. If the amount of bleeding is large, reaching more than 1000 ml, not only will vomiting blood occur, but hemorrhagic shock may also occur. If the amount of bleeding is small or the blood stays in the stomach for a long time, the vomited blood will be darker in color, such as brown or coffee color.

2. Black stool is a clinical manifestation when the amount of bleeding from the gastric fundus veins reaches 50-100 ml. It means that the color of the stool is significantly darker and looks like tar. It is also called tarry stool. This is because the blood passes through the intestines and forms black stool under the action of bacteria.

It is recommended that you go to the hospital for medical treatment in time when the above two situations occur!
