There is a possibility some or
even none of the symptoms
listed will be experienced.
But, an ulcer is present in the
body and spreading in the
stomach and sometimes the
symptoms only happen once
an ulcer has reached an
advanced
level.
The
symptoms
listed
below
require a person to seek
immediate medical attention:
Melana: a thick dark
foul smelling stool
resulting from oxidize
iron from blood
Rarely,
but
not
uncommon, an ulcer
may lead to a gastric or
duodenal perforation.
This is an extremely
painful condition that
requires
medical
attention and surgery.
Any type of unexplained
sudden, sharp, burning
in the stomach that does
not subside should be
checked by a medical
professional as soon as
possible.
One of the complications that
may arise from stomach
ulcers is gastrointestinal
bleeding which is a common
complication. The condition
occurs when the ulcer has
eroded a blood vessel, sudden
large bleeding can be life
threatening and needs prompt
medical attention.
Hematemesis (throwing
up blood) which can be
a result of bleeding from
the gastric ulcer, or from
esophageal
damage
because
of
severe/continuous
vomiting.
