Ulcers can be caused by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). If this organism is present, the ulcer would be treated with a triple medication regimen; to include: Flagyl plus another antibiotic, antacids to neutralize acid in the stomach, a proton-pump inhibitor which will help heal an ulcer by decreasing acid production in the stomach, and Carafate which will coat an ulcer to allow it to heal.
It won't heal them. It can help them clot to stop bleeding, and can offer a little relief from the pain, but it won't heal them.
Yes, an abdominal CT scan can help detect an ulcer, particularly when it is associated with complications such as perforation or bleeding. While the scan may not directly show the ulcer itself, it can reveal signs of inflammation or other changes in the surrounding tissues. For a definitive diagnosis, endoscopy is typically the preferred method.
This question is very vague as there are many types of internal bleeding that can occur in many different areas of the body. Basically, if you suspect internal bleeding dial 911 and get help on the way...if this isn't possible, monitor the patient for symptoms of shock and get them to the nearest medical facility as rapidly as possible!! To simplify it, internal bleeding from a bleeding ulcer pales in comparison to bleeding on the brain or a severed aorta!

Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, can help prevent bleeding ulcers by reducing stomach acid production, which promotes healing of the gastric lining and minimizes irritation. It is often prescribed for individuals at risk of developing ulcers or those with a history of ulcer disease. However, it is essential to follow a healthcare provider's recommendations for proper usage and to address any underlying causes of ulcers. Always consult with a doctor for personalized advice regarding ulcer prevention and treatment.
No it won't cause one, but it will irritate it and not help you.
Platelets are cells that help with blood clotting and coagulation. When there is an injury, platelets help form a plug to stop bleeding by clumping together and releasing chemicals that promote clotting.
Yes; however, an ulcer is not a muscle so it will not help with pain, but it may help you fall asleep. I am not a medical Dr. I know this from experience. Hope this helps!
The ulcer diet is good because it means that you avoid hot and spicy foods. This is good for your ulcer, and makes eating not hurt as much, it also means a lot of dairy products.
A peptic ulcer is erosion in the lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine, an area called the duodenum. If the peptic ulcer is located in the stomach it is called a gastric ulcer.
Milk does not help heal wounds. If you have bitten your tongue, it will heal on it's own; no need to do anything.
