How do I know if I have an ulcer in my stomach?
Stomach ulcers are painful sores on the lining of the
stomach that can be lethal! Keep an eye out for the signs and symptoms
Stomach ulcers, commonly known as peptic ulcers, affect one
out of every ten adults and are becoming more common. Ulcers in the small
intestine or the esophagus might develop.
When the thick coating of mucus supposed to protect the
stomach's digestive juices is diminished, a painful sore forms around the
stomach, and the digestive acids eat away at the tissues lining the stomach!

Stomach Ulcers should be treated as soon as possible because
if not, the region would continue to eat away, leading to perforation and
finally bleeding, which can be fatal! (Stomach ulcer surgeries are usually not
the best because they have side effects, particularly in women, so it's
preferable to get detected early and start therapy.
Take a look at the list below before your stomach ulcer gets
worse, or if you're not sure what symptoms to look out for:

1. Acid
Reflux
Heartburn is a symptom of a stomach ulcer. Spicy meals can
cause a burning sensation in the chest, but if it persists and over-the-counter
medications don't help, visit a doctor.
2.
Burps and Hiccups
When hiccups and burps occur frequently after eating,
drinking, or 'naturally' (which they aren't), it's time to consult a doctor for
a thorough evaluation.
3. Pain
in the Stomach
Consistent stomach pain/sharp or dagger-like pain in the
stomach may indicate the presence of stomach ulcers and should be treated as
soon as feasible.
4.
Excessive gas
Another indicator of a stomach ulcer is bloating or feeling
heavy even while not eating.
5.
Soreness
Another common indicator of a stomach ulcer is indigestion.
See a doctor if you have a persistent feeling of discomfort or indigestion
after eating anything.
6. Nauseous
feeling
Seeing a doctor about a persistent sick feeling,
particularly after eating, is a good idea.
