The 18 pages that link to Gastrointestinal bleeding, each with the reason it gives.

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugRelated: NSAIDs can injure the digestive lining and impair platelet-mediated clotting.

• AspirinRelated: Aspirin increases this risk by impairing platelet function and weakening gastrointestinal mucosal protection.

• Iron deficiency anemiaRelated: Chronic hidden bleeding is a major cause of iron deficiency, especially in adults.

• ColonoscopyRelated: Colonoscopy can locate and sometimes treat bleeding sources in the lower tract.

• Gastrointestinal tractRelated: Its location and presentation help clinicians identify which tract region is affected.

• Iron deficiencyRelated: Chronic, sometimes unseen blood loss can gradually deplete iron stores.

• IbuprofenRelated: Ibuprofen can increase the risk of ulcers and bleeding, particularly with prolonged use or higher doses.

• Hypovolemic shockBroader topic: Substantial internal blood loss can cause shock without visible external wounds.

• Hemorrhagic shockBroader topic: Large or ongoing gastrointestinal bleeds can cause shock without an external wound.

• CelecoxibRelated: Celecoxib may cause ulcers or bleeding, though its risk can be lower than that of some nonselective NSAIDs.

• NaproxenRelated: Reduced protective prostaglandins can make naproxen-associated ulcers and bleeding more likely.

• Internal bleedingBroader topic: Digestive-tract blood loss may remain internal or appear later in vomit or stool.

• Alimentary canalRelated: Its location and presentation help clinicians identify which canal region is affected.

• DiverticulumRelated: A colonic diverticulum can bleed when a vessel in its wall is injured.

• Gastrointestinal contentsCompared with: Bleeding adds blood to luminal contents and can alter their appearance.

• Gastrointestinal diseaseRelated: Bleeding is a sign of ulcers, inflammation, tumors, and other lesions.

• IndometacinRelated: Prostaglandin suppression can weaken stomach protection and raise bleeding risk during treatment.

• PiroxicamRelated: Prostaglandin suppression can weaken digestive-tract protection and raise bleeding risk during piroxicam use.
