Ulcer Pain — Which Doctor Should I See?

Ulcer pain is typically caused by stomach acid irritating the lining of the stomach or small intestine. This can result from H. pylori infection, NSAIDs, stress, or excess acid production.

Over-the-counter antacids can provide quick relief. Avoid spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol. Eat smaller, frequent meals and don't skip breakfast. If pain persists, consult your doctor.

Seek medical attention if pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by vomiting blood, black stools, or unexplained weight loss. These may indicate serious complications requiring urgent care.
