A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible ulcer: This could represent peptic ulcer disease and yes it can be caused by bacteria called H.pylori. There can be other causes of this pain also. You would need to see a doctor because there are ways of determining if you have this bacteria -- blood test or breathe test or endoscopy . It can then be treated and the theory is that one can actually cure an ulcer.
