To treat recurrent duodenal ulcers, it is essential to maintain good eating habits. Eat meals at regular times every day, pay attention to hygiene during meals, eat less leftover food, avoid barbecued foods and alcohol, and consume more fruits, vegetables, and foods rich in vitamins. If symptoms recur repeatedly and show no significant improvement with conservative treatment, or if complications such as duodenal ulcer perforation occur, surgical intervention may be necessary to relieve symptoms.
