Answer
Hi, with the above symptoms it is not possible to confirm whether you have a stomach ulcer or not. You need to visit a gastroenterologist at a reputable medical facility or one of the hospitals under the Vinmec Health System nationwide for an examination and endoscopy to diagnose flatulence. in the epigastrium is the symptom of gastric ulcer disease and the correct treatment direction.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec. We look forward to meeting you for a more detailed consultation. Best regards!
