Managing Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Stabilization, Endoscopy & Treatment | Dr. Akshay Deshpande

Akshay Deshpande, Associate Consultant of Gastroenterology & Hepatology at Sakra World Hospital, discusses the management and treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding. The treatment begins with stabilization methods such as IV fluids and blood transfusions, if necessary. An endoscopic procedure is then performed to identify the cause of the bleeding. Common causes include ulcers, esophageal varices (often seen in liver disease patients), diverticular disease, hemorrhoidal bleeding (piles), or tumors and polyps. Most cases can be treated endoscopically with techniques like hemoclip application or banding, effectively stopping the bleeding. In severe cases, surgery may be required to halt the bleed.
