A member asked:

Could stomach ulcer be cured by taking medication ?

Dr. Susumu Inoue answered

Specializes in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology

Yes: Most stomach ulcers can be cured medically taking pills, but you need to see a doctor to see if indeed you have the ulcer, and if you have, what caused the ulcer. Depending on the cause, the treatment may be different. Thus you need physician's evaluation and guidance for the treatment.
