Patient's question:
Gastric ulcer, discomfort due to hunger, bloating with belching, acid reflux, what to do if you have a gastric ulcer?Doctor's answer:
Peptic ulcers are often caused by a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. It is necessary to take medications that can completely eliminate Helicobacter pylori and protect the gastric mucosa. If there is excessive stomach acid, it is also advisable to take acid-reducing medications. These medications include: clarithromycin, aluminum hydroxide gel (for protecting the gastric mucosa), and omeprazole or famotidine (for reducing stomach acid). After purchasing, take them according to the dosage instructions on the packaging. Additionally, in daily life, it is important to avoid raw, cold, irritating, and spicy foods, as well as overly greasy foods. Patients should maintain a positive mindset to ensure timely and appropriate treatment.
