Is constant stomach pain a sign of a stomach ulcer?

Patient's question:

Nausea, weakness, loss of appetite, almost for about ten days now. Also haven't had a bowel movement for several days. Often take naps, but can't sleep at night. Don't know what's going on?

Doctor's answer:

Nausea, weakness, and poor diet are often associated with irregular eating habits, indigestion, stomach disease, and liver and biliary tract diseases. The symptoms of gastric ulcer primarily manifest as upper abdominal pain, which is often related to diet. The pain is commonly triggered by hunger, medication, acidic foods or drinks. If there is no pain related to it, you can consult a local doctor for upper gastrointestinal contrast examination or endoscopy. Currently, the main treatment is symptomatic relief. It is recommended to consult a local doctor for intravenous fluid therapy and antiemetic treatment. Closely monitor the changes in the condition.
