Stomach ulcer: what the treatment plan depends on

With an ulcer the plan is built from test results, not from «strong pills»: whether the bacterium is there, what the acidity is, what the person is already taking. We look at why the same plan helps one person and does nothing for another

How this usually goes

Gulmira is 46 and works at a school. Her ulcer was found four years ago in another city, treated, and everything settled. In spring the pain came back — the same night pain, on an empty stomach. She decided the plan was known and started taking what had helped back then: she found two names in the old discharge note and added two more on a colleague's advice

Three weeks later it was easier, but it had not gone. She came to the doctor with a bag of packets and a question: «why did it help then and not now?». At the appointment it turned out that not all four drugs applied to her current situation, and one of the added ones dulled the pain without touching the cause

The doctor sent her for a gastroscopy and a Helicobacter test: without them there was no way to tell whether this was the same story or a new one. The plan was rebuilt on the results — for what was found now, and taking into account the blood-pressure medication she is on

The plan was rebuilt and a month later the night pain stopped. The painkiller Gulmira had been taking did work — that was the difficulty: the pain went, the cause stayed

What people come with

Two kinds of people come. The first had an ulcer before and repeat the old plan from an old discharge note. The second read a drug name online or took the pharmacy's advice and want to know whether they are taking the right thing. Almost everyone asks whether a gastroscopy can be skipped

If this is you

  • This medicine helped me, can I take it again?
  • Can it be prescribed without a gastroscopy?
  • I have high blood pressure, are these pills compatible?

How it goes

First a conversation: when it hurts, whether it is linked to food and to the night, what has been taken already and for how long. Then a gastroscopy — without seeing the lining there is nothing to build a plan on — and a Helicobacter test: half the prescriptions depend on its result. Separately the doctor looks at regular medication: some of it damages the lining by itself and has to be accounted for in the plan. All of this is done at the centre in one day

How to prepare

Bring the packets themselves to the appointment, or photograph them: no plan can be built from «those white tablets». Be sure to mention regular medication — for blood pressure, for back pain, blood thinners. If you are coming with a gastroscopy in mind, come on an empty stomach

What people ask most

Why can the old plan not simply be repeated?

Because it is not known whether this is the same situation. The plan depends on what the examination of the lining shows and on whether the bacterium is there now, not four years ago

Is the helicobacter test done the same day?

Yes, the sample is taken during the gastroscopy. There is no second visit, and blood tests are taken on site

I take painkillers for my back — does that matter?

It matters, so tell the doctor. Some of those medicines damage the lining themselves, and the doctor takes that into account when putting the plan together
