A member asked:
Approximately how long does it take for an ulcer to start bleeding if left untreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unpredictable: You never know. A gastric (stomach) ulcer could bleed today or it might never bleed significantly. It depends on how bad the ulcer is and whether there is a major artery nearby.
