Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a serious medical condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications. Dr. Sarang Mahanaik, a highly experienced gastroenterologist in Indore, provides comprehensive GI bleed management services to identify the source of bleeding and offer effective treatment solutions.
GI bleeding can occur anywhere along the digestive tract, from the esophagus to the rectum.

Common symptoms indicating GI bleeding include:
Vomiting blood or blood clots
Black, tarry stools or bright red blood in stools
Weakness, dizziness, or fainting due to blood loss
Abdominal pain or discomfort
Common causes of GI bleeding include:
