Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
The treatment of gastric ulcers mainly includes the following aspects: **Medication:** 1. Use of acid-suppressing agents, such as proton pump inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole, rabeprazole) and H2 receptor antagonists (e.g., ranitidine, famotidine). 2. Administration of gastric mucosal protective agents, such as colloidal bismuth pectin and sucralfate, which help promote the healing of the gastric mucosa. 3. If Helicobacter pylori infection is present, combination therapy with antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, clarithromycin) is required. **Lifestyle modifications:** 1. Maintain healthy habits, including regular meals, adequate sleep, and moderate exercise. 2. Avoid staying up late, excessive fatigue, and emotional stress or anxiety. 3. Eat a light, easily digestible diet and avoid spicy foods and irritating beverages.
