Patient's question:
I have a stomach ulcer, which was carefully diagnosed in the hospital recently. I usually experience upper abdominal pain, and the pain is not ordinary but very dull. This symptom occurs about an hour after meals, causing severe pain and making it difficult to sit or stand. What medication is good for stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers?Doctor's answer:
For patients with duodenal or gastric ulcers, it is generally caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. In clinical diagnosis, active antibacterial treatment is usually provided, which is very effective for the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers. Two types of antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, and pectin enzyme preparations can be used. Follow-up gastroscopy is recommended after approximately two to four weeks.
