Does ulcer cause blood vomiting?

My father has been experiencing severe stomach pain for a few days. Yesterday, he actually vomited some blood, which scared us a lot. Could an ulcer be so serious that it causes blood vomiting?

Vomiting blood due to a bleeding ulcer is a major medical emergency that requires immediate hospitalization. Do not worry about the cost of endoscopy or tests right now; getting to a government or trust hospital's emergency room quickly is the priority.

I am not a doctor, but from what I know, bleeding ulcers can definitely cause vomiting of blood or dark coffee-ground-like material. Since this can be a serious complication, please contact a doctor or visit a clinic immediately for proper safety.

Yes, vomiting blood is a direct indication of a bleeding ulcer or other gastrointestinal bleeding. This is not something you can manage at home. Go to the casualty ward of a good hospital immediately to get it checked.
