Patient's question:
My girlfriend is 23 years old this year. Recently, she has been feeling uncomfortable in her stomach and doesn't have a good appetite. Even if she is given something delicious to eat, she can't eat much. Then, if she eats a little more, she feels stomach pain. It often hurts her stomach. I suspect it might be a stomach ulcer, but I'm not sure.Doctor's answer:
Common symptoms of gastric ulcer include: pain on the left side of the midline of the upper abdomen or the upper left abdomen, weight gain, bleeding. In addition to some atypical symptoms, such as loss of appetite, postprandial fullness, nausea, and dry heaving. Some patients may have no symptoms at all and only be discovered to have a gastric ulcer by chance. It is recommended that you take your girlfriend to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis. In fact, it is not scary to get a gastric ulcer. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treatment is symptomatic, the chances of controlling the condition and recovery are very high.
