Hello,
To the question “How to treat duodenal ulcer, diet and exercise like? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
A stomach ulcer is an ulcer that develops in the inner lining of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine with the most common symptom being stomach pain. Duodenal ulcers that occur in the upper part of the small intestine are called duodenal ulcers. The most common causes of duodenal ulcers are infection with the bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), long-term use of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Stress and spicy foods don't cause stomach ulcers, but they can make your symptoms worse.
If you are having duodenal ulcer, you should see a gastroenterologist for advice and the right treatment regimen. You will probably have to get tested for an HP infection to get a complete treatment. In addition to medication, a reasonable diet, rest as well as reducing stress and anxiety also contribute significantly to the effectiveness of treatment. When you see a gastroenterologist, you will be consulted directly.
If you still have questions about how to treat duodenal ulcers, diet and exercise, 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.
