A bleeding ulcer can lead to death if the bleeding is severe and not controlled, resulting in significant blood loss. This can cause hypovolemic shock, where the body loses enough blood to impair its ability to function. Additionally, if the ulcer perforates the stomach or intestinal wall, it can lead to peritonitis, a life-threatening infection of the abdominal cavity. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to prevent these complications.
