How do i treat peptic ulcer?

Years ago, you were given medication that attempted to treat the excessive stomach acid your body was producing, and sometimes that allowed the ulcer to heal. If that attempt failed, usually the patient would end up with a perforated ulcer. ( Bleeding ulcer ) This would often require surgery.

In the late 80's a doctor discovered that ulcers were bacterial and could be treated with antibiotics. He was laughed to scorn. Later, much to the medical fields suprise, he was found to be right.

Usually they will give you an antibiotic, as well as some medication to help curb the excess stomach acid. Usually they can see some kind of progress in about 6 weeks.

My advice to you is to seek out your doctor and let him/her get you on a treatment as soon as possible before it gets worse.

Best wishes.

Peptic ulcer is a sore or hole in the lining of the stomach or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). People of any age can get an ulcer and women are affected just as often as men. Over 25 million Americans will suffer from an ulcer at some point during their lifetime. The good news is that most ulcers are caused by an infection with the bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, and can be cured in about two weeks with antibiotics.
