Patients with cirrhosis should be careful, as these two symptoms may be symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding!

First of all, we need to know the reasons why patients with cirrhosis have gastrointestinal bleeding. The structure and function of the liver of patients with cirrhosis are damaged, resulting in a decrease in the coagulation factors of the liver, a decrease in the number of platelets and a decline in function, which in turn leads to abnormal coagulation function. When eating hard food, it may damage the esophageal gastric veins, causing rupture and bleeding.

So, what symptoms should liver patients have that should alert us to the possibility of gastrointestinal bleeding?

Sudden onset of black stools or vomiting of blood: This is the most common symptom of gastrointestinal bleeding. When patients with cirrhosis suddenly find themselves excreting black stools or suddenly vomiting bloody substances, this may be a sign of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Abdominal pain or discomfort: If patients with liver cirrhosis experience abdominal pain or discomfort, it may be a precursor to gastrointestinal bleeding. Abdominal pain may be caused by spasms caused by gastrointestinal bleeding. In addition, patients with liver cirrhosis may also experience nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension. When patients experience these symptoms, they should seek medical attention in time for early detection, early treatment, and early diagnosis.

When patients with cirrhosis show the above two symptoms, they need to be vigilant and seek medical attention in time to avoid danger!
