Question
Hello doctor,
I have a peptic ulcer with HP bacteria. I have had an endoscopy and have been taking medication since 2017, until now I have had recurrent abdominal pain. I've had the same symptoms as before and haven't gone back to the doctor. The doctor asked me: what are the symptoms of recurrent stomach ulcers?

Answer
Hello,
To the question “What are the symptoms of recurrent stomach ulcers?”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Gastric ulcers are the result of imbalance between protective factors - attack the gastric mucosa. The cause of this disorder comes from Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, prolonged stress, tobacco and alcohol abuse that increase gastric acid secretion in the stomach.
Gastric ulcer disease is assessed as having a high risk of recurrence. Therefore, the treatment of the disease becomes more and more difficult. Finally, the disease can cause dangerous complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, gastric perforation or stomach cancer,...
However, abdominal pain is a manifestation of many different diseases, including inflammation - gastric ulcer, duodenal bulb. Therefore, you should consult a doctor for the most accurate diagnosis, advice and treatment plan.
If you still have questions about the symptoms of stomach ulcer recurrence, 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.
