Haematemesis - what does this mean
Haematemesis is the vomiting of blood, which is caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the stomach or oesophagus. it can be a sign of a serious underlying medical condition and should be investigated further to determine the cause.
What happens during the disease - haematemesis
Haematemesis is a condition in which blood is vomited due to a disruption in the normal digestive process. it is often caused by a variety of underlying conditions such as gastritis, ulcers, varices, and other gastrointestinal disorders. these conditions can lead to irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, causing bleeding and the vomiting of blood. in some cases, the bleeding can be caused by a more serious condition such as a tumor or a clotting disorder. treatment of haematemesis usually involves treating the underlying cause, as well as providing supportive care with fluids and medications to reduce bleeding.
