Duodenal bulb ulcer in stage S2 refers to the second phase of the scar stage of duodenal bulb ulcer. In this phase, the ulcer surface has essentially healed, and phenomena such as congestion, edema, bleeding, or perforation generally do not occur, indicating that the condition has become relatively stable and is progressing favorably. At this stage, patients may not require specific treatment, but should still maintain healthy dietary habits and lifestyle practices, such as avoiding cold, raw, or spicy foods and quitting smoking and alcohol consumption, to prevent disease recurrence. Additionally, if Helicobacter pylori infection is present, eradication therapy should be administered. Stage S2 is an important phase in the healing process of a duodenal ulcer.
