What Is Mallory Weiss Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Pain
In many instances of Mallory-Weiss syndrome, the patient will experience no symptoms. This is because the tears are usually only very mild and will heal quite quickly. There may be some bleeding, but there is likely to be very little blood, meaning it will not be noticed. When there are symptoms, however, pain is going to be among the most likely.
The pain might only be mild and is unlikely to be of much concern. Regardless, if any pain in the abdomen area does persist then the patient should seek medical advice. Doing so might help to catch a serious condition early on in its development, making treatment easier.
