Patient's question:
I have had a stomach problem for about two or three years. At first, I often had stomach pain, but in the past year or so, it hasn't happened again. However, it started hurting my stomach again yesterday. My mom took me to the hospital, and they said it's a stomach ulcer. I want to ask, what are the symptoms of a stomach ulcer?Doctor's answer:
If the patient is diagnosed with a gastric ulcer, the typical symptoms of the ulcer often reappear shortly after dinner, manifesting as stomach pain. Pathologically, this is usually caused by excessive stomach acid leading to damage to the gastric mucosa or the presence of Helicobacter pylori. This condition requires treatment as prescribed by a doctor. If Helicobacter pylori infection is present, a triple or quadruple therapy should be used for treatment. Patients should pay attention to a light and regular diet, avoid getting cold, and not eat cold or chilled food.
