Diarrhea - a serious condition that occurs suddenly, at the most inopportune moment, is familiar to many. It can significantly impair the quality of life, but an adult usually copes with it on their own, but not in the case when diarrhea is accompanied by bloody discharge and vomiting. Occurrence of just such symptomatology testifies that the root cause of this diarrhea became a serious pathology. Medical assistance in this situation is necessary from the very beginning of the appearance of unpleasant symptoms. And patients of any age group can be affected by this problem, since it is one of the most common intestinal disorders. According to statistical data, the most frequent occurrence of these signs was registered in the summer.
Vomiting and diarrhea with blood is a very dangerous phenomenon, leading a person not only to dehydration of the body, but also to severe depletion. To stop the development of pathology. It is required first of all to identify the cause that contributed to the development of this pathology. To do this, a specialist conducts a study of the feces of a sick person for the presence in it of certain types of bacteria. The severity of the patient's condition, which has a bloody diarrhea accompanied by vomiting, can be judged by the speed of advancement of special drugs within the intestine and data obtained by fluoroscopy. If the presence of salmonellosis, cholera or food poisoning is detected, urgent hospitalization will be required.
Causes of diarrhea with blood and vomiting
This symptom often occurs when the body is influenced by pathogens or poisonous substances trapped in the digestive tract with spoiled foods. At the same time, it performs a protective function, because with its help toxins and infection are rapidly released. Before the arrival of a doctor and the identification of the true cause of the pathology that caused the presence of blood in the stool, neither vomiting nor diarrhea is discouraged.
But due to the fact that this symptomatology can cause rapid dehydration of the body, especially in the elderly and children, it is necessary to provide the ill with an abundant drink. It can be both mineral water without gas, and pure boiled with the necessary microelements dissolved in it, mineral salts and vitamins. This will help the body to clean and will not lead to a violation of the water-salt balance. To provoke such signs as vomiting and diarrhea with blood, the following diseases may occur:
- If bloody impurities appear in the copious diarrhea and all this is accompanied by vomiting, in this case it may be an infectious disease. Moreover, there are additional symptoms such as painful sensations localized in the lower abdomen, fever and fever;
- This symptomatology can be caused by disorders in the upper intestinal tract, ulcers of the duodenum or stomach, and the development of malignant neoplasms in them. Liquid feces in these cases acquire a dark red color;
- The inflammatory process that develops in the digestive tract, also assumes that the patient may have vomiting and diarrhea with blood. If in this case a person has a high fever and a general severe condition lasts more than 3 days, professional help can not be avoided.
Whatever the cause of the patient's appearance of bloody diarrhea and vomiting, self-medication is in no way permissible. Only a gastroenterologist can determine with what particular severe pathology they are related, and prescribe from this an adequate treatment.
