Health Tips: Signs Of Stomach Ulcers You should Watch Out For

Stomach ulcers also known as peptic ulcers, happens in at least one out of ten adults and it became increasingly common. These ulcers can be formed in the small intestine or the oesophagus.

Stomach Ulcers should be treated as soon as possible which can cure it but if left untreated, the area will keep eating away which can cause perforation, then eventually bleeding where it becomes fatal! (Stomach ulcer operations are usually not the best as they come with adverse effects especially for ladies so it’s best to get diagnosed early and start off treatments)

Signs of Stomach Ulcer to watch out for include:

Stomach Pain: Persistent stomach pain/sharp or dagger-like pain in the stomach may form early pointers to stomach ulcers and this should be taken care off as soon as possible.

 Heartburn: Heartburns are pointers for stomach ulcers. A burning sensation in the chest can happen due to intake of spicy foods but if it persists and over the counter drugs don't provide relief, see a doctor.

 Hiccups and Burps: When hiccups and burps are persistent after eating or taking water or just 'naturally' (which isn't) then it's time to see a doctor for proper examination

Bloating: Bloating or feeling heavy even when not necessarily filled up with food is another sign that could indicate stomach ulcer
