Should a biopsy be performed after discovering a gastric ulcer?

Whether a pathological examination is required for the discovery of gastric ulcer depends on specific conditions. If the patient's symptoms are mild, generally no pathological examination is needed; however, if the patient's symptoms are severe, a pathological examination may be necessary.

No Need:

Gastric ulcer refers to a ulcerative disease that occurs on the inner wall of the stomach, which may be caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. If the patient's condition is relatively minor and no obvious discomfort symptoms appear, a pathological examination is generally not required. It is recommended that patients can be treated with Omeprazole Enteric-coated Tablets, Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Capsules, and other medications under the guidance of a doctor.

Need:

If the patient's condition is severe, presenting with symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, and after improving relevant examinations, it is clear that there is a malignant lesion, the patient should seek medical attention promptly and undergo a pathological examination under the guidance of a doctor. This will help with accurate diagnosis and avoid delaying the condition. In daily life, patients are advised to maintain a regular schedule, avoid overwork and staying up late. At the same time, they should also pay attention to a reasonable diet, focusing on light foods, and can eat fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, tomatoes, etc., to supplement the body's necessary nutrients and maintain good health. If there are any significant discomforts during this period, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying the condition.
