What is gastorrhagia?

Gastorrhagia is a medical condition characterized by bleeding from the stomach. It can be caused by various factors such as ulcers, gastritis, stomach cancer, or other gastrointestinal disorders. Symptoms of gastorrhagia may include abdominal pain, vomiting, black and tarry stools, and anemia due to blood loss. Diagnostic tests such as endoscopy, blood tests, and imaging studies can help in determining the underlying cause of gastorrhagia. Treatment varies depending on the cause and severity of the bleeding and may involve medications, blood transfusions, or surgery in severe cases. Prompt diagnosis and management of gastorrhagia is crucial in preventing complications and improving outcomes.
