Patient's question:
Today, I went to the hospital for an endoscopy, and the preliminary report showed: a 0.6x0.6cm ulcer was observed on the lesser curvature of the gastric antrum, with a thin white coating on the base and surrounding mucosa congestion and edema (pathology). What does this mean?Doctor's answer:
The manifestations of gastric ulcers are generally: irregular shape, large size, uneven base, dirty, nodular raised edges, and disrupted peristaltic folds around. Additionally, gastric cancer is usually painless and more common in older middle-aged and elderly individuals. Your condition exhibits symptoms of a gastric ulcer, and it is recommended to follow a standardized treatment plan for gastric ulcers. Some gastric ulcers can heal on their own, but the condition can be severe, so it is advised that patients seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
