Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to greet you. I have had recurrent gastric ulcers. How should I treat them? I have gastric ulcers, and they often recur. Sometimes the medication helps, but they come back again shortly after. I frequently feel abdominal pain, discomfort in the upper abdomen, nausea, dry vomiting, acid reflux, and heartburn. It's too exhausting. Is there any way to relieve it?Doctor's answer:
If it has been diagnosed as a gastric ulcer, this is a chronic condition, which is generally difficult to completely cure. If dietary hygiene is not paid attention to or bowel movements are irregular, the condition is easily triggered. Regular checks are needed to see if there is Helicobacter pylori infection, as long-term infection can increase the risk of gastric cancer. If there are obvious symptoms of stomach pain, bloating, nausea, dry heaving, acid reflux, it is recommended to combine acid-reducing and stomach-protecting medications, as well as medications to neutralize stomach acid.
