A member asked:
My father had replacement of peg yesterday and after few hours he started the blood vomitting. he is now admitted into hospital. what is cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trauma: Most likely there was some trauma induced by the procedure that resulted in bleeding in the stomach. If enough bleeding occurs it will cause vomiting of blood to occur. The chance of this could be increased if he was on blood thinners.
