A member asked:

I have an esophageal ulcer and am gettin treated. how do i know if it starts bleeding? it's near the end of the esophagus.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bleeding esophagus: If you are being treated and watching your diet and alcohol intake the chances are low; if it rebleeds you will either throw up blood or pass dark/black stools - and then you go back to the doctor.
