Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it got better for a while, but then it started again. Can a stomach ulcer develop into stomach cancer?Doctor's answer:
Whether it's a gastric ulcer or gastritis, as long as you persist with treatment, it will gradually improve or heal on its own. However, after healing, you must pay close attention to your diet, because if gastritis or gastric ulcers recur repeatedly, it will significantly increase the risk of gastric cancer. Therefore, I strongly suggest you urge your roommate to eat properly at dinner and not to eat recklessly, especially avoiding fried and smoked foods. You must cherish your health.
