Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 24 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling severe stomach pain. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was a duodenal ulcer. I am a bit worried, so I want to ask the doctor, how should I treat a duodenal ulcer? What precautions should I take?Doctor's answer:
The condition of the patient with duodenal disease is mostly considered to be caused by excessive stomach acid leading to gastric mucosal damage. If a careful examination reveals Helicobacter pylori infection, the condition can be alleviated. Generally, it is recommended to use a triple or quadruple therapy for treatment. Specific medication should still be taken according to the doctor's advice. In daily life, it is important to maintain a light and regular diet, avoid catching colds, refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol, and pay attention to follow-up checks.
