What Is Mallory Weiss Syndrome?

10. Treatment
In the vast majority of cases, no treatment will be necessary for Mallory Weiss syndrome. Indeed, the condition will usually clear up itself without the patient even being aware that they had the condition. Treatment will be necessary in a small number of cases, however.
When treatment is advised, it will usually involve medication that will help to reduce the levels of acidity in the body. Endoscopic therapy may also be suggested, which can involve using heat to close the wound, or medication to help stop the bleeding. Surgery may be deemed necessary if other methods are not effective.
