Everything about gastric ulcer and its cure you must have heard of gastric ulcer. It means some kind of benign damage to the stomach. K. is "Peptic Ulcer". In the not too distant past, lifestyles were thought to be the root cause of stomach ulcers, or stressful occupations, but nowadays doctors have discovered that the main cause of the ulcer is not stress or diet but infection with a specific bacterium called Helicobacter pylori.

The bacterium is present in saliva and is transmitted through the use of the spoon and fork of the infected person or the eating of other people's semi-functional food, according to Dr. M. Kamran Amiri. Some drugs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen, and some medicines for the treatment of arthritis (joint pain and arthritis), can cause gastric ulcer, so you should not take any medication without consulting Doctor. Smoking and alcohol are other causes of gastric ulcer. Symptoms of gastric ulcer The most common symptom of gastric ulcer is burning pain that can be felt from the chest to the umbilical cord. This pain is caused by gastric acid contact with the injury area. The pain starts from one hour after eating and lasts for hours. It also flares up at night and can wake one up. This pain worsens when the stomach is empty, so hunger should be avoided. Gastric ulcer can subside for a while, but after a few weeks the symptoms return, so you should see a doctor for treatment. In few cases, other signs and symptoms of gastric ulcer are seen:

* Vomiting (Elevation of blood), indicated by red or black.

* Dark blood in the stool or feces tan

* Nausea or vomiting

* Weight loss for no reason

* Appetite change that one should see a doctor as soon as possible. It should be noted, however, that not all pain is a gastric ulcer.

The most important illness that has symptoms similar to a stomach ulcer is a heart attack, so avoid self-treatment. The doctor uses an endoscope to diagnose gastric ulcer. In the endoscopic procedure, the doctor looks at the inside of the stomach through a narrow tube that enters your stomach and the head is light, and may sample the inner layer of the stomach (like, remove a piece) to check for Helicobacter pylori. Blood tests and breathing tests are also used to diagnose Helicobacter pylori. Usually in young people, if there are no symptoms such as weight loss, anemia, vomiting and food sensation and only gastric pain, they should receive a blood test and a breath test for Helicobacter pylori and be treated if proven. But in people who are over 40 years old or have anemia, nausea or vomiting or food sensation, endoscopy is a must because gastric cancer is common in our country. Treatment of gastric ulcer if you have H. pylori, you should be on a multi-drug antibiotic treatment for two months. Also, gastric acid-lowering drugs such as ranitidine, famotidine, omeprazole, etc. help reduce gastric pain. If gastric ulcer has severe bleeding, endoscopy may be necessary to burn and reduce bleeding. Surgery may be required if the bleeding is not controlled by endoscopy or the wound is punctured. When you see a peptic ulcer doctor, there is no wound that you can treat alone without referring to your doctor. Although acid-blocking drugs and antacids relieve pain, this recovery is short-lived. If you see any signs or symptoms of a sore, be sure to see a doctor for treatment; on the other hand, your stomach pain may be a sign of another serious illness, such as a heart attack, so if you go to the doctor with a stomach ache and ask for a heart examination Don't be surprised. Risk of gastric ulcer Most people with gastric ulcer have only gastric pain. Some people have no symptoms at all. Wounds can also cause other physical problems; sometimes they bleed. If the wounds get too deep, they can puncture the stomach wall. Wounds can also cause gastric obstruction, preventing food from passing through the stomach, which can lead to nausea, vomiting, and weight loss.
