    1.Hematemesis, melena, and hematochezia Hematemesis represents bleeding above the pylorus, and the color of hematemesis depends on whether the blood has undergone acidic gastric juice. If the bleeding is heavy and fast, and the blood stays in the stomach for a short time, such as esophageal variceal bleeding, the hematemesis is mostly dark red or bright red.

    On the other hand, due to the formation of orthoheme due to the action of gastric acid in the blood, it is brown or tan. Hematemesis is often accompanied by melena, which may be absent from hematemesis.

    Black stool represents bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract or small intestine, the color of the stool is black and tarry, and the color of black stool is affected by the length of time the blood stays in the intestine, when the amount of bleeding is large, the bleeding speed is fast, and the intestinal peristalsis is hyperactive, the stool can be dark red or even bright red, similar to the lower gastrointestinal bleeding; Conversely, empty and ileal bleeding, if the amount of bleeding is small and remains in the intestine for a long time, may also manifest as melena.

    Blood in the stool refers to the bright red or dark reddish-brown stool, and the bleeding site is mostly located in the colon, but in the case of heavy bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, because the blood has a laxative effect, it will shorten the excretion time, making the stool bright red.

    The quality of the stool is also affected by the amount of bleeding and the speed of bleeding, the amount of bleeding is large, the bleeding speed is fast, and the stool is loose and mushy; If the bleeding is small and slow, the stool will form.

    2.Other presentations Other clinical manifestations vary depending on the amount of bleeding, the location of bleeding, and the speed of bleeding. Patients with small bleeding and short bleeding time may be asymptomatic; Chronic hemorrhagic anemia may occur in the elderly, such as paleness, fatigue, dizziness, loss of appetite, etc.; Massive bleeding in a short period of time can cause hypovolemic shock, which manifests as:

    1) Peripheral circulatory disorder: a large amount of bleeding in a short period of time can cause a rapid decrease in circulating blood volume, insufficient venous return to the heart, and a decrease in cardiac output, manifested as dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, sweating, dry mouth, paleness, clammy cold, etc.

    2) Fever: The mechanism of fever is not clear, and it may be caused by blood accumulation in the intestinal lumen, absorption of hemoglobin decomposition products, decreased blood volume, peripheral circulatory failure, etc., which affect the thermoregulatory center.
