Not all vomit looks the same. But if it looks like coffee grounds โ or red wine ๐ท, it could mean internal bleeding. โ ๏ธ
Hereโs what it could signal โฌ๏ธ
๐น Bleeding ulcers in the stomach or duodenum
๐น Tears in the esophagus from repeated vomiting
๐น Varices (swollen veins) from liver cirrhosis
๐น Inflammation in the upper GI tract
๐ Color matters:
Dark, sludge-like vomit โ blood mixed with stomach acid (older bleeding)
Bright red vomit โ fresh, active bleeding
๐จ If you ever see blood in your vomitโor notice black, tar-like stoolsโdonโt wait. These are medical emergencies.
๐ Consult Dr. Saravana Kumar, Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist at ParkCity Medical Centre, for urgent assessment and care.
