To detect an ulcer, one must first be familiar with the symptoms accompanying this ailment. The first and most obvious symptoms amongst sufferers is an intense burning feeling in the stomach. The pain comes and goes away. Pain usually occurs a few hours after consuming a meal, or around midnight if the stomach is devoid of food. There might also be nausea, vomiting and decreased appetite. There might not be any symptoms in the early stages of this ailment. However in later stages, as the ulcer progresses, symptoms begin to surface that are very serious. These include vomiting blood or seeing blood in your stool. The blood in the vomit or the colour of the stool could either be red or a dark shade of brown. Ulcer is commonly caused by a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori or H.pylori for short. H.pylori can be detected in the body through blood tests or breath samples. A sample of bodily tissues can also be examined. The patient might also undergo an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series, where X-rays are taken from your stomach, and throat. A tube will be extended from the mouth to the stomach, and a doctor will be able to look at the X-rays. A patient might also undergo another test called an endoscopy, where a tube with a camera on the end is extended down to the upper abdomen. The image is transferred to a television screen for the doctor to monitor. Samples of tissues might also be taken to examine for the presence of the H.pylori bacterium.
