Patient's question:
I recently developed a stomach ulcer, which causes abdominal pain and a burning sensation. How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
First, undergo a thorough endoscopic examination or barium meal scan to check the cause of the stomach pain. If Helicobacter pylori infection is detected, take Omeprazole enteric-coated capsules + Amoxicillin capsules + Clarithromycin under the guidance of a doctor for treatment, generally requiring a course of 2-4 weeks. Avoid overeating, cold and raw foods, spicy and irritating diets. Do not smoke or drink beer. For patients facing stomach ulcer issues, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical consultation. If the stomach ulcer does not heal after prolonged treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
