A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ulcer: Your physician or gastroenterologist, who knows your test results and what your symptoms were is best to advise you. If the ulcer was in your stomach and not a classic peptic ulcer in the duodenum, I would consider a follow-up examination of the stomach important. A duodenal peptic ulcer doesn't necessarily require a follow-up endoscopy and usually heals well. You may want to stay on a bland diet,
