Ulcers

I assume this is a gastric or duodenal ulcer. Treatment depends on the cause. The most common cause is a bacteria known as H pylori. There are several lab tests to determine if this bacteria is present. Any Family Practice Physician, Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner can order the specific test based on your circumstances. If this test is positive, treatment consists of , usually, 2 antibiotics for two weeks, plus an acid reducing medication known as a proton pump inhibitor- Prilosec is an example, but there are others. The PPI is continued for 8 weeks. There are alternative treatments, but all include an antibiotic/PPI combination. There are other causes of ulcers, such as medication induced from medications such as Non Steroidal Anti-inlammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, Naprosyn, etc, used on a chronic basis. There are several other not so common causes of ulcers. Treatments vary as to the specific cause. It is important to see a medical provider if you think you might have an ulcer, as symptoms associated with ulcers can also be from other medical conditions. Further, ulcers, if treated improperly or inadequately, can result in serious and /or fatal complications.

Yes, you can get herpes from a bite if the person who bit you had a cold sore at the time, or in the period right before a cold sore appears. The infection would affect you at the site of the bite.

normally you get a mouth ulcer from running low or stress or not having enough vitamin b12

Not as much popping, as scraping or cutting off. *warning* It is painful. The common procedure is scraping or cutting the white part off (which is the source of the infection). It is recommended to use something like a toothbrush with quite a few painkillers.

the harmful chemicals are absorbed into your stomach lining and wear it down

An ulcer in the incisura of the stomach is typically treated with a combination of medications and lifestyle changes. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed to reduce stomach acid and promote healing. Antacids or H2-receptor antagonists may also be used to alleviate symptoms. In addition, patients are advised to avoid irritants such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption, while also adhering to a balanced diet.

The obstructed area is removed and part of the bowel is cut away. If the obstruction is caused by tumors, polyps, or scar tissue, they are removed. Hernias, if present, are repaired. Antibiotics are given to reduce the possibility of infection.

TB ulcer is transverse while typhoid is longitudinal

I hope not.

You should stick to the diet recommended by your doctor. Most stomach ulcers are caused by a bacterium, and are curable with the proper antibiotics. If your doctor is not pursuing this route, see a gastroenterologist.

In the meantime, avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and over the counter painkillers like aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxin sodium. Tylenol is OK, provided that you are, indeed, avoiding the alcohol and do not have liver problems.

Tongue Ulcers, also known as aphthous ulcer, are distinguished by white colored lesions on the tongue. They are usually painless. These ulcers are not of very serious kind but, when the same patch grows and turns into blood red color the ulcers might bleed causing damage to your tongue. You can feel a burning sensation and might spot red, swollen spots on the tongue.

The skin overlying bony prominences is the most prone to developing ulceration.

A decubitus ulcer usually occur one lies in the same spot without being turned areas most effected are bony prominences.Prevention of this is being turned regularly and good hydration's protein supplements will help also.

Normally a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as nexium or prilosec for several months. Also if the ulcer shows positive for the h. pylori bacteria a antibiotic with the PPI will be given for about 10 days then the PPI will have to be used for about 2 mos. Most accurate way to diagnose peptic ulcers is through a upper endoscopy from a Gastroenterologist who specializes in digestive disorders.

There are a lot of people who had stomach ulcer and over 90 percent of people survivor and 10 percent had die that's my mom told me she is a doctor

Peptic ulcer is most often caused by an Helicobacter pylori ("H. pylori") bacterial infection which can be treated with prescription antibiotics.

Peptic ulcer can also be caused by use of certain pain relievers, available both by prescription and over-the-counter ("OTC"), called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ("NSAIDs") which can irritate the lining of the stomach and small intestine, especially if not taken with food. These medications include aspirin, ibuprofen (Aavdvil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Aleve), ketoprofen and others. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is not included in this group of drugs.

Stress and spicy foods have been eliminated as direct causes of ulcers (as it once was believed). However, limiting those factors along with smoking and alcohol consumption does aid in recovery from peptic ulcer.

The severe acidity of the stomach was thought to be too extreme for bacteria to survive.

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). GOO is not a single disease or disorder but a condition in which the stomach cannot empty because the pylorus is blocked.

Over 90% of peptic ulcers can be healed with antibiotics AND cessation of the offending agent. The top two promoters of ulcers are 1) alcohol and 2) smoking.
