What is Mallory-Weiss Syndrome?
A condition where repeated vomiting or retching causes a tear in the lower end of the esophagus tissue (also called a Mallory-Weiss tear).

Diagnostic Questions for Mallory-Weiss Syndrome
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Is there blood in your vomit after repeated throwing up?
- Have you vomited blood?
- Did you vomit blood after drinking a lot of alcohol?
- Have you been experiencing nausea or vomiting?
- Do you often drink more alcohol than planned?
Treatment of Mallory-Weiss Syndrome
This condition typically heals by itself without treatment in most cases. If bleeding is severe, a endoscope (a flexible tube with a camera and light at the end) may be inserted to put a clip to close the tear or use an injection or heat treatment stop the bleeding.
