Hello,
With the question “Stomach ulcer size 0.3mm, edematous margin covered with pseudomembranous matter? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
An ulcer is a lesion that penetrates the mucosa, the size is usually > 0.5cm, in your case it may be an acute inflammatory lesion with white pseudomembranous . To evaluate an ulcer based on its size, whether the ulcer margin is smooth or not, is it easy to bleed, is it infected with Helicobacter bacteria or not? Usually a biopsy is needed for pathology. With your ulcer is quite small in size and the doctor did not do a biopsy, you should not worry. You can check back in 2 months for re-evaluation or re-test if symptoms such as pain, reflux, burning, etc. are still present. condition and treatment.
If you still have questions about a stomach ulcer of 0.3mm size, edematous bottom with pseudomembranous covering, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
