Peptic ulcer: If you're having stomach pain and other symptoms, your doctor can help investigate your complaints and see what you may need. For a clear diagnosis of peptic ulcer, an upper GI endoscopy is needed. Gastroenterologists usually perform these procedures, and can make definitive treatment recommendations. If your age is truly 48, why does it matter what your mother believes?
