Let's analyze the next stream of Anchi Baranova, namely, the part where they complained to her about the black chair. Some elderly aunt there said that she had a temperature of 39 degrees, which dropped, then bitterness in the mouth, abdominal pain and black stools appeared.
Ancha suggested that it was a problem with bile acids, cholestasis, or something like that, and offered to do tests for a hepatologist.
Personally, I think that older woman may have had stomach bleeding and needs to call an ambulance.
Where is the logic?
Now, let's follow a simple logical path. Suppose that old woman really has cholestasis. That is, when bile is not supplied from the liver to the intestines. The bile is indeed dark in color and gives a corresponding color to the contents of the intestines.
But if we are talking about cholestasis, then there bile does not enter the intestine and does not stain the contents of the intestine in a dark color. Does this make the chair what? That's right, white. Therefore, in some liver diseases, the stool becomes discolored.
Something about this story doesn't fit.
And that's what was most likely there
If a person develops an ulcer or any other hole in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, then the flowing blood mixes with acid from the stomach, and the output is hematin hydrochloric acid. It is a black pigment. It makes the chair look like tar. In medicine, we call it tarry stools.
To get this kind of stool, you need to have bleeding from the esophagus, stomach, or the beginning of the small intestine. That is, from where the blood has a chance to mix with the acid from the stomach.
In fact, even 50 milliliters of blood drained from the stomach turns the stool black. That is, the person has not even had time to feel the loss of blood, and the tarry stool has already appeared.
Causes
There can be many reasons for bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract, but this story draws attention to the temperature and its subsequent decrease.
The fact is that some antipyretics can cause stomach bleeding. They disrupt the synthesis of protective prostaglandins, without which holes easily appear in the stomach.
And some antipyretic drugs disrupt platelet function. Because of this, the bleeding does not stop longer. Therefore, a person with black stools is interviewed for taking antipyretics.
Moreover, that auntie from the stream had a stomach ache.
Bitterness in the mouth
Here is another story. Sometimes people have a bitter taste in their mouth due to gastrointestinal problems. And it doesn't have to be bile.
Sometimes they have a bitter taste in their mouth due to taking medications that can damage the stomach.
Sometimes any unusual taste in the mouth is called bitterness. That is, even the taste of blood can be called bitter.
Sometimes a strange taste in the mouth occurs with bleeding. This does not require blood to flow from the stomach into the mouth. Any noticeable bleeding gives us a strange metallic taste in our mouth. This is such a natural mechanism. Sometimes it associated with the smell of blood, and sometimes it happens for some unknown reason.
Read my articles on the links in the text. There is a lot of useful information.
And vice versa. If you cannot understand when something bad is happening to you, then it is better not to look at the network at all. Don't listen to Anchu, or read me. Deal?
