It is generally accepted that the main symptom of an ulcer is abdominal pain. But ulcers have many symptoms in disguise.
According to ToDay News Ufa, experts from the UK’s National Health Center said the condition is more likely to be caused by Helicobacter pylori bacteria. Another reason is the frequent use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
If there is no pain, the ulcer can be mistaken for heartburn. If there is pain, then it goes from the stomach to the neck, then to the navel and back.
Another not very common symptom is indigestion, loss of appetite or weight, and nausea.
When the ulcer does not heal, complications appear. For example, internal bleeding. It appears that inflammation appears at the site of the vessel.
Slow bleeding leads to anemia, shortness of breath, fatigue, or fast heartbeat. Rapid bleeding can provoke vomiting of blood or tarry stool.
Another complication is perforation. The lining of the stomach opens, after which bacteria enter the intestines. This is how the infection enters the bloodstream and causes sepsis.
