Aspirin Essay, Research Paper

Aspirin

Aspirin may not be healthy for the DIGESTIVE TRACK it can also sometimes cause

serious bleeding in the upper GASTROINTESTINAL tract. A study director of

medicine said the risk of bleeding is directly related to aspirin. She also

stated that ? of an aspirin is good for a day (about the same amount of a baby’s

aspirin). Another thing she stated was that if you are taking aspirin for

arthritis it may cause severe bleeding. Late last moth in a journal called

Lancet , Lancet compared the use of aspirin among 550 people admitted to the

hospital with serious bleeding from the stomach or DUODENUM with the aspirin-

taking practices of 1,202 non hospitalized people from the same communities. An

aspirin-induced ULCER or gastric-an inflammation of the stomach lining is the

cause of such bleeding that typically results in vomiting blood. In virtually

everyone who takes aspirin the aspirin may cause MICRO BLEEDING. The more

serious bleeding is rare however it is death threatening, Especially if the

person has any other medical problems or has lost a lot of blood quickly. In a

survey 19 per 100,000 people had the serious bleeding. It is precisely the power

of the aspirin that makes it effective against heart attacks and strokes that

are caused by clots. I think that you should not take aspirin for preventing any

heart attacks or strokes or etc.? for a reason and that reason is that it may

cause another hazard upon you while you are trying to prevent one happening to

you. Digestive track – The way food is digested. Gastrointestinal – Of relating

to, affecting, or including both stomach and intestine. Duodenum – The first

part of the small intestine extending from the pylorus to the jejunum. Ulcer -

An open sore on the inner surface of the alimentary canal. Micro bleed – The

loss of tiny amounts of blood from the gastrointestinal track that may show up

in the stool.

some cases. 4. The more aspirin you take the more of the chance of you bleeding
