Core Tip Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a serious condition requiring prompt diagnosis and intervention. Advances in endoscopic therapy, such as clips, thermocoagulation, and hemostatic powders, have improved outcomes by reducing rebleeding, surgeries, and mortality. Non-variceal upper GIB, often caused by peptic ulcers, has a 30-day mortality of 11%, while lower GIB, with diverse causes like diverticular bleeding and ischemic colitis, usually resolves spontaneously but can recur. Accurate diagnosis, early treatment, and careful management are essential to improve outcomes and reduce complications.
