Stomach Ulcer
I am 28 year old male. I have stomach ulcer when came out through endoscopy. I took the 14 days medicine course but it did not improve. So a year later, I got endoscopy again and the ulcer had actually spread a little more. I also got biopsy done. Was given the 14 days medicine and medicine for gas again which I took. Doctors say not to go for Endoscopy multiple times and it's painful. I have taken the medicines and try eat healthy as much as possible. But I still feel the pain sometimes. (2-3 times a week). How do I know if my ulcer is improving or becoming worse without another endoscopy. I got the last one in September 2023
