Experiencing Periodic Bleeding Of Varying Degrees Due To Rupturing Of Blood Vessels At GI Tract

In 2011 I experienced the rupturing of a blood vessel in my upper GI tract, I had a sudden loss of 2 to 3 pints of blood orally and anally in a matter of minutes. I was rushed to the hospital where I received emergency surgery (endoscopy). Since then I have and still experience periodic bleeding of varying degrees. Respectfully, but honestly I am wondering is this the result of a less than perfect procedure or something that is a common ocurence and also I am looking for ideas about how to deal with this very alarming problem. Thank you. David (49 year old male)

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have haematemesis. It is mostly due to portal hypertension and osophageal varices. You should go for endoscopy again. If large amount of blood loss occur then you may need urgent blood transfusion. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for the cause of the day. Wish you a very good health.
