Symptoms Of Mallory-Weiss Syndrome

Involuntary Retching

Another common symptom is involuntary retching, which is the strong urge to vomit. It is typically the first symptom of Mallory-Weiss syndrome to develop. The patient will then start to vomit up blood.

Most cases of Mallory-Weiss syndrome are self-limiting, which means they clear up on their own. If the patient does need treatment, the doctor will generally start by treating blood loss with intravenous fluids and transfusions. They may also give the patient antiemetic medications to stop the retching and vomiting. After the patient has stabilized, the doctor will perform tests to locate the tear and determine if it is still bleeding.
