Precautions for Gastric Ulcer
Patients with gastric ulcers should pay more attention to rest, reduce mental stress, and, moreover, enhance health education, maintain regular eating habits, have meals at fixed times and in fixed amounts, eat less greasy, spicy, and irritating food, strictly abstain from smoking and drinking alcohol, and drink less strong tea, coffee, and other such beverages. Actively use medical treatment, commonly using medications that suppress stomach acid secretion and protect the gastric mucosa. To achieve ulcer healing, the course of acid-suppressing medication generally lasts 4 to 6 weeks. One should maintain a relaxed mood, as excessive tension and anxiety can aggravate ulcer symptoms. Through effective medical treatment, the cure rate of peptic ulcers can reach over 95%. Even after healing, strict attention must be paid to dietary habits. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)
