Answered by Master, Doctor Vu Tan Phuc - Gastroenterologist - Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine - Vinmec Phu Quoc International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is stomach ulcer contagious? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If the cause of stomach ulcers is caused by HP infection, it can be contagious, because HP bacteria can be transmitted through eating and drinking and causing ulcers to infected people. Gastric ulcers caused by other causes are not contagious.
If you still have questions about stomach ulcers, 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.
Best regards!
