Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a serious condition that occurs when there is bleeding in the digestive tract, ranging from mild to life-threatening. It may appear as vomiting blood (hematemesis), black or tarry stools (melena), or fresh blood in stools (hematochezia). Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial to prevent complications. At Anil Baghi Hospital, our expert gastroenterologists specialize in advanced diagnostic and treatment procedures to manage GI bleeding effectively.
Common Causes of GI Bleeding:
✅ Peptic Ulcers – Sores in the stomach or small intestine caused by H. pylori infection or excessive NSAID use.
✅ Gastritis & Esophagitis – Inflammation of the stomach or esophagus due to acid reflux, infections, or alcohol consumption.
✅ Esophageal Varices – Swollen veins in the esophagus, often linked to liver disease.
✅ Diverticulosis & Colitis – Small pouches in the colon or inflamed intestines causing rectal bleeding.
✅ Cancer or Polyps – Tumors in the stomach, colon, or esophagus may cause slow, hidden bleeding.
Symptoms of GI Bleeding:
✔ Vomiting Blood – Bright red or coffee-ground-colored vomit.
✔ Black, Tarry, or Bloody Stools – A sign of bleeding from the upper or lower digestive tract.
✔ Unexplained Fatigue & Weakness – Due to chronic blood loss and anemia.
✔ Abdominal Pain & Cramps – Associated with ulcers, infections, or inflammation.
✔ Dizziness & Shortness of Breath – Seen in cases of severe blood loss.
Advanced Treatment for GI Bleeding at Anil Baghi Hospital:

✔ Colonoscopy – To detect and treat lower GI bleeding caused by polyps, diverticula, or inflammatory diseases.
