Are multiple stomach ulcers contagious

Multiple stomach ulcers are generally not contagious. The disease is mainly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection and is therefore not contagious.

1. Reasons

1. Improper diet: If the patient eats spicy and stimulating food for a long time or often drinks alcohol, it may cause damage to the gastric mucosa, thereby inducing gastric ulcers.

2. Drug factors: If patients take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time, such as aspirin enteric-coated tablets, indomethacin capsules, etc., it will also increase the risk of gastric ulcers.

3. Stress reaction: If the patient is severely traumatized or suffers from a major disease, the body's immune system will be abnormal, which will easily lead to excessive gastric acid secretion, which will cause certain damage to the gastric mucosa, and in severe cases, gastric ulcers.

2. Treatment

For multiple gastric ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, quadruple therapy can be used under the guidance of a doctor to treat radically, that is, one bismuth agent, two antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, such as bismuth citrate, potassium, clarithromycin, levofloxacin, omeprazole, etc. In addition, regular check-ups are required during the medication period to clarify your recovery.

It is recommended to pay attention to developing good living habits in daily life, regular work and rest, ensure sufficient sleep time, and avoid staying up late and overwork. At the same time, it is also necessary to maintain a relaxed and happy mood and avoid excessive mental stress. If symptoms continue to worsen or you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital immediately.
