People with gastric ulcers can eat mutton, as it is rich in protein and can provide heat and nutrients. Additionally, it is suggested to consume other types of nutritious foods such as soy products, other lean meats, eggs, milk, etc. It is also advisable to eat more green vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamin C. Avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods as much as possible and actively use medications for treatment, commonly including those that inhibit gastric acid secretion and protect the gastric mucosa. If there are complications like bleeding or perforation, active treatment such as endoscopic hemostasis or vascular interventional hemostasis should be sought. After treatment, it is important to strengthen exercise, maintain a good mood, and avoid emotional stress. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

Can gastric ulcers be cured?

Gastric ulcers are classified into benign and malignant types. Most duodenal bulb ulcers and gastric ulcers are benign and can be cured through medication. Treatment plans are usually determined based on the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection. Patients with Helicobacter pylori infection can be treated with antibacterial therapy. If there is no infection, symptomatic treatment alone is generally sufficient for a cure. If the ulcer is malignant or is a giant ulcer, surgical treatment is generally required. For those who cannot undergo surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy may be needed. Generally, the prognosis for malignant ulcers is worse than for benign ulcers.

Treatment of gastric ulcer with bleeding

For the treatment of gastric ulcers with bleeding, it is primarily necessary to determine the treatment plan based on the amount of bleeding. If the bleeding is minor, it can be treated with oral medication, and whether there is an infection with Helicobacter pylori must be considered. If there is an infection of Helicobacter pylori, the typical treatment is a quadruple therapy, which includes a proton pump inhibitor, two antibiotics, and a bismuth agent. If there is no Helicobacter pylori infection, symptomatic treatment is sufficient, commonly using proton pump inhibitors. If the bleeding is severe, timely hospitalization is needed. The treatment usually involves the intravenous use of proton pump inhibitors primarily, and if the medication is ineffective, endoscopic treatment might be necessary. This could include the application of hemostatic medications, electrocoagulation, or the use of titanium clips, etc. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)
