Ulcer Treatment

Ulcers are open sores that develop in the lining of the stomach, small intestine (duodenum), or esophagus. They are commonly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, excessive acid production, prolonged painkiller use, or stress-related factors.

If left untreated, ulcers can lead to serious complications such as bleeding, perforation, and obstruction. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential to promote healing and prevent recurrence.

• Diagnosis of gastric and duodenal ulcers
• Evaluation for H. pylori infection
• Management of acidity, heartburn, and stomach pain
• Medication therapy to reduce acid and promote healing
• Treatment of ulcer-related bleeding or complications
• Dietary advice and lifestyle modification

Treatment typically includes acid-suppressing medications, antibiotics for H. pylori infection, and avoidance of ulcer-causing substances such as painkillers, alcohol, and smoking.

With timely treatment, proper diet, and regular follow-up, ulcers can heal completely and recurrence can be effectively prevented.
