@pharmgem001: Yes, stomach ulcers (also called gastric ulcers) can often be cured permanently, depending on their underlying cause and how well treatment is followed. Here's a breakdown: 🔍 Common Causes of Stomach Ulcers: H. pylori infection (Helicobacter pylori) Long-term use of NSAIDs (like ibuprofen, aspirin) Excess stomach acid (often related to stress or certain conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome) Smoking, alcohol, and poor diet can worsen or delay healing. ✅ Permanent Cure Is Possible If: 1. H. pylori is eradicated Yes, curable. With a proper course of antibiotics (usually combined with acid-reducing meds like PPIs), H. pylori can be completely cleared, and the ulcer can heal. Recurrence is rare if the infection is fully treated and confirmed with follow-up tests. 2. NSAID use is stopped or minimized Yes, often curable. If NSAIDs are the cause, stopping them and using medications like proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) allows the ulcer to heal. Long-term protection may be needed if NSAIDs must continue (e.g., using PPIs alongside them). 🛑 If Not Properly Treated: Ulcers can return or cause serious complications, including bleeding, perforation, or gastric cancer (in some long-term H. pylori infections). 🩺 Standard Treatment Includes: Antibiotics (for H. pylori) PPIs (omeprazole, pantoprazole, etc.) Lifestyle changes: avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy foods, and stress. #ulcer #ulcerativecolitis #medicaltiktok #foryou #fyp #healthcare #hpylori #heartburn #pepticulcer
