Does upper gastrointestinal bleeding hurt?

Whether upper gastrointestinal bleeding is painful or not needs to be judged according to the specific situation.

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a hemorrhagic disease that occurs in the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. Generally, it is related to many factors. If the patient has slight mucosal damage or bleeding caused by drug injury or long-term use of antiplatelet drugs, the gastric mucosa usually does not feel obvious pain due to fewer blood vessels. However, upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by peptic ulcer, esophageal varices, etc., especially if it involves muscularis and below, usually causes pain.
