How DPC Can Help Manage Your Peptic Ulcer

Updated on: December 17, 2024

When stomach acid damages the lining of the stomach, small intestine, or esophagus, a sore known as a peptic ulcer forms. Bloating, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, and a burning or painful feeling in the stomach are the most typical signs of a peptic ulcer. Eating or taking antacids can momentarily reduce the pain, which frequently happens at night or in between meals. When ulcers get worse, they can cause problems like bleeding, perforation, or obstruction that need to be treated right once. For an accurate diagnosis and course of therapy, it's critical to consult a doctor if you suffer from chronic stomach discomfort or other associated symptoms.
