Hello,
With the question “Can superficial duodenal ulcer be treated? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Superficial duodenal ulcer is treatable. If the duodenal ulcer has H pylori bacteria, it must be treated to eradicate HP. If you are taking anti-inflammatory drugs, discontinue use (if possible) for effective treatment. In addition, you should lead a safe lifestyle such as avoiding smoking, because smoking can slow wound healing and increase the risk of gastrointestinal cancer. Avoid stimulants such as alcohol and coffee. Should eat cooked, drink boiling, eat clean, safe, clear foods, need to divide meals, when eating, eat slowly and chew thoroughly. Limit eating spicy, greasy, and fast foods. You should add foods rich in essential vitamins and minerals from green vegetables, cereals, eggs, meat and fish, etc. exercise regularly. Allocate study and work time reasonably, do not let fatigue and stress persist.
You should go to a medical facility for definitive treatment.
