Common symptoms of gastric ulcers include upper abdominal pain, which tends to persist for a prolonged duration and often recurs. Some patients may also experience nausea, vomiting, and melena. It is recommended that patients undergo gastroscopy at a hospital to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment—either oral medication or surgery—as advised by their physician.
