Do stomach ulcers itch?

Gastric ulcers are usually not itchy, and patients often have symptoms of indigestion such as epigastric pain, anorexia, acid reflux, and belching (burping). Gastric ulcer is an inflammatory defect in the gastric mucosa that damages more than the muscular layer of the mucosa. It is mostly caused by a decrease in the defense mechanism of the gastric mucosal barrier. Patients often have epigastric pain, the nature of which can be distension, dull pain, burning pain, hunger-like discomfort, mostly recurrent or periodic episodes, typically occurring during seasonal changes, and some patients may also experience postprandial pain and other discomforts, but usually there is no itching sensation. If you have gastric ulcers, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible, by the doctor according to the specific conditions, to develop individualized diagnosis and treatment plan, so as not to delay the condition.
