Patient's question:
I vomited blood before the New Year and had an endoscopy, but it wasn't diagnosed as a stomach ulcer. Recently, I've been feeling extremely weak and wonder if it might be a stomach ulcer. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, stomach ulcers can be detected through endoscopy. If a stomach ulcer does not accompany symptoms such as peeling, rupture, pyloric obstruction, or cancer, it is usually treated with strict measures. It is necessary to first check for Helicobacter pylori infection. If it is present, treatment is required. Omeprazole is quite effective, but the specific treatment should still follow the advice of your attending physician.In addition, during the treatment of stomach ulcers, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. Patients must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the stomach ulcer.
