Patient's question:
Many people have symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, acid reflux, and belching, and they often think they have gastritis or a stomach ulcer. Hello, could you tell me the difference between the symptoms of the two?Doctor's answer:
The clinical manifestations of gastric ulcer are very weak, primarily（can、、），、、。The patient may have abdominal pain for ten years or even decades, with alternating recurrence and remission（this is periodic）. Gastric ulcer can also have digestive disorders such as abdominal pain, poor appetite, acid reflux, and belching. Most cases of gastritis show chronic superficial gastritis on gastroscopy, and patients usually have no obvious clinical manifestations. If this is the case, it may also be similar to the symptoms of gastric ulcer, such as upper abdominal pain, fullness, dull pain, burning pain, nausea, belching, and acid reflux. From a clinical perspective, gastritis and gastric ulcer cannot be distinguished. Only with gastroscopy, it is clear at a glance.
