How can i heal an ulcer without needing surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healing ulcers: i assume you are discussing stomach ulcer. Most are related to H pylori infection so would treat H pylori, you can test for it with a breath test at labcorp or Quest Surgery is usually reserved if unresponsive or bleeding Also while healing no alcohol no motrin or aleve (naproxen) or or ibuprofen or asa, avoid caffeine spicy foods.
