A member asked:

My wife who is pregnant has blood vomiting episode once...can i know the exact cause for it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mild esophageal tear: There is a comdition called a mallory-weiss tear that occurs from constant vomiting. Fortunately it is usually self-limited. The main thing is to minimize any further vomiting. Endoscopy is usually used to prove the diagnosis but is not recommended during pregnancy unless it is a life-threatening emergency.
