What is the reason for vomiting red blood during pregnancy?

When we talk about pregnant women vomiting blood in daily life, I believe everyone thinks it is very serious. There are several types of vomiting blood in pregnant women. The first is organ pathological factors, physiological factors, and serious diseases. Vomiting blood mainly comes from gastrointestinal problems. Many people often have gastrointestinal diseases, which cause great harm to the stomach and intestines. Vomiting blood during pregnancy is mostly due to the gradual expansion of the uterus, which compresses the stomach and intestines, causing the stomach and intestines to move upward. The stomach and intestines lose their normal horizontal line, which can cause esophageal reflux. Eating too hot or too hot can damage the gastric mucosa a little bit, leading to mild ulcers of the gastric mucosa. Therefore, there will be vomiting blood during the course of the disease. You can go to the hospital for a gastrointestinal examination first, and find treatment methods based on the results of the examination.

Nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy are normal pregnancy reactions.

The cause of this disease is a sharp increase in the concentration of chorionic gonadal hormones in the blood, which, together with the effects of placental hormones and adrenal cortex hormones, causes congestion and edema of the gastric mucosa. If placental villous fragments continue to enter the mother's blood and the mother is allergic to this foreign body, she will have a severe allergic reaction, vomiting will intensify, and the gastric mucosa will be damaged, resulting in gastric bleeding. This is different from the nausea and vomiting caused by pregnancy and you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

In the late pregnancy, the uterus expands and the stomach shifts upward to a horizontal position, making it easy for stomach contents to reflux into the esophagus, causing varying degrees of inflammation, edema or ulcers in the esophagus, thereby aggravating or causing gastrointestinal bleeding. In addition, the placenta produces a large amount of progesterone, which reduces gastrointestinal muscle tension, reduces peristalsis, and prolongs gastric emptying time. In particular, if food stays in the esophagus for too long, it will irritate the gastric mucosa and cause bleeding, or produce uncomfortable sensations such as a burning sensation in the stomach area.

If there is a history of gastric ulcer, the ulcer will worsen in the later stages of pregnancy, and may even cause vomiting, bloody stools, and heavy bleeding. If you already have liver disease or early cirrhosis, pregnancy will increase the burden on the liver, increase the pressure in the abdominal veins, and cause varicose veins in the esophagus and gastric fundus. Once the vein ruptures, massive gastrointestinal bleeding will occur, endangering the lives of mother and baby.

To prevent gastrointestinal bleeding after pregnancy, you should pay attention to eating soft foods, eat small meals frequently, chew slowly, and eat less or even no irritating foods. Diarrhea can easily induce gastrointestinal bleeding, so if diarrhea occurs, it should be treated promptly. You should increase your nutrition, strengthen your physical fitness, exercise regularly, increase your disease resistance, and create good conditions for pregnancy.

What should you do if an expectant mother has gastric bleeding?

Due to the special circumstances of pregnant women, they cannot take medicine easily for gastric bleeding. Therefore, pregnant women with gastric bleeding should pay attention to their diet. They should eat small meals frequently, chew slowly, and eat less or no cold, hard, or irritating food.

After gastric bleeding occurs, pregnant women should lie flat in bed to rest and provide accurate information to the doctor at any time so that the doctor can take reasonable measures for treatment based on the latest condition.

If a pregnant woman becomes irritable, fearful, or emotionally unstable after gastric bleeding, she may be given an appropriate injection of sedatives.

If the condition becomes serious, the pregnant woman should be given oxygen in time. A gastric tube can also be placed in the pregnant woman to suck out the blood accumulated in the stomach. However, it depends on the bleeding situation of the pregnant woman, and the medication can only be infused under the guidance of a doctor.
