With the question “Does stomach ulcers come back after treatment? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:

At the same time, the doctor will re-check your Hp because the Hp infection can be cured, but it can still be re-infected by other people. Besides, if you have not had an ultrasound in the past 3 months, you should have an abdominal ultrasound to rule out diseases of the gallbladder and biliary tract because stomach pain is usually dull and rarely sharp. violently.
