Four symptoms of gastric ulcer have been relieved after treatment.

This spring, I experienced frequent heartburn and abdominal pain, so I underwent an endoscopy. A small lesion was found, and a biopsy was performed, leading to a diagnosis of gastric ulcer.

After being diagnosed with a gastric ulcer, I followed the doctor's prescription medication and made efforts to change my eating habits. Now, I would like to share my experience of how my gastric ulcer symptoms have improved.

 

Since last spring, I haven't been eating strangely and I don't feel hungry. Did I lose my appetite because it's spring?

I thought of it as nothing important.

However, after eating, I often experience indigestion, sometimes feel nauseous, have a burning sensation in my stomach, and frequently burp.

Is it because I ate the food hastily after all?

I just thought that it would get better after a little while.

I believe I have a stomach ulcer that eats away at my flesh inside my body.

You couldn't even imagine.

My complacent neglect has started to make my body suffer more.

It seemed like a couple of hours had passed after having dinner one evening.

I start to feel a burning and pain at the end of my sternum, along with abdominal pain.

I experienced an incredible pain that felt like squeezing and pricking with a needle.

After that, I thought I couldn't go on like this, so I usually went to...

Visited Sangju St. Mary's Hospital and after an endoscopy examination

You have been diagnosed with an ulcer.

The doctor explained the endoscopy images in detail to me, who was stunned by the shock, and reassured me not to worry as long as I received proper treatment. They also provided a detailed explanation of the precautions I should take.

Listening to the doctor made me feel a bit more at ease.

 

I started taking the prescribed medication and at the same time, I almost stopped eating spicy and salty foods. I used to be a big fan of spicy and salty, strongly stimulating foods, but I changed my eating habits.

Avoid hard and chewy foods, as well as greasy foods and meats.

I did not eat during the treatment period.

I mainly ate vegetables and fruits.

I ate foods that are helpful for gastric ulcers carefully.

After about five months of treatment, the painful symptoms that troubled me disappeared.

I am treating the gastric ulcer and maintaining good condition.

It wasn't this painful before...

Is there anyone so foolish to leave it neglected for a year?

If you have symptoms like mine, I strongly recommend that you do not hesitate and seek medical attention immediately.
