Hello doctor,
I went to the doctor to diagnose an antral ulcer; antrum mucosal edema congestive with erosive ulcer size ~0.5cm; edematous margin of the fundus with pseudomembranous. The doctor told me an antral ulcer is dangerous? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is an antral ulcer dangerous?” , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
As you describe, an antral ulcer is not dangerous in nature if you take medicine and have a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle includes: Do not eat spicy foods, do not drink alcohol, eat on time, reduce stress,.. If the ulcer progresses, it can cause bleeding in the stomach or worse can cause stomach perforation. I need to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the disease from getting worse.
If you still have questions about an antral ulcer, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. I wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
