Gastrointestinal hemorrhage is one of the most common symptoms of small bowel diseases. Gastrointestinal bleeding with normal upper and lower endoscopic results is suspected to be small bowel bleeding. With the advent and development of capsule endoscopy, device-assisted enteroscopy, and radiographic imaging, most of the sources of suspected small bowel bleeding can be identified, thereby corresponding treatment can be performed. The key points for the management of suspected small bowel bleeding are choice of suitable examinations, optimal timing of examinations and ideal therapeutic regimens. In this article, the management of suspected small bowel bleeding was briefly reviewed.
