What are the potential dangers of vomiting bile?

The harm of vomiting bile is relatively serious. Repeated vomiting of bile may lead to tearing of the digestive tract mucosa and cause bleeding. In addition, it may also lead to dehydration due to insufficient body water, resulting in electrolyte imbalance, which may cause indigestion. Meanwhile, this condition is also an important cause of gastric mucosal damage, which is highly hazardous to human body.

Repeated nausea and vomiting of bile may lead to tearing of the cardia mucosa and the possibility of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. If the amount of bleeding is small, it can stop bleeding by itself. If the amount of bleeding is large, it may endanger life and requires emergency hospitalization for hemostasis treatment. If necessary, endoscopic hemostasis treatment may be given.

Repeated vomiting of bile may lead to insufficient blood volume, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, etc. It is necessary to give appropriate fluid replacement and correct electrolyte imbalance.

Repeated vomiting of bile will reduce the amount of bile, which will affect the digestion and absorption of fat, resulting in indigestion and other discomfort symptoms.

Repeated vomiting of bile may also lead to gastric mucosal injury, causing acute gastric mucosal lesions, erosion, ulcer formation, decreased gastric motility, and causing abdominal pain, bloating and other discomfort symptoms.
