Pregnant woman vomits dark red heartburn

It is normal for pregnant women to experience vomiting and nausea during pregnancy. When pregnant women have heartburn, nausea and vomiting with dark red liquid, it may be caused by gastrointestinal bleeding or gastric bleeding. The physical health of pregnant women during pregnancy is very important. If such symptoms occur, detailed examinations can be done for treatment.

What is the dark red color of pregnant women's heartburn vomiting?

If a pregnant woman has heartburn and her vomit is dark red, we should consider the possibility of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding like this is usually related to the possibility of severe vomiting of pregnant women leading to cardia tearing. Because pregnant women belong to a special population, it is generally not possible to undergo gastroscopy.

Generally, some acid-suppressing drugs are used after informing the patient of the relevant risks, and the patient is asked not to eat or drink and is closely observed. If the bleeding can be stopped well, there is generally no big problem.

Early pregnancy reactions usually occur around the sixth week of pregnancy, with pregnant women experiencing symptoms such as aversion to oil, nausea, and vomiting. Some pregnant women with severe early pregnancy symptoms may vomit dozens of times a day and be unable to eat, which is called hyperemesis gravidarum. Due to repeated vomiting, gastric acid reflux will burn the esophagus, causing damage to the esophageal mucosa, resulting in heartburn, vomiting of coffee-colored liquid, and even vomiting of bloody secretions. When severe vomiting occurs during pregnancy, pregnant women should go to the hospital for a check-up of urine routine and blood electrolytes. If urine ketone bodies and electrolyte imbalances occur, hospitalization for infusion and antiemetic treatment is required to correct the body's acid-base balance and electrolyte imbalance.
