Gastric ulcers that are not accompanied by severe peptic bleeding or cancer can survive for a long time without affecting life expectancy. Patients are concerned about gastric ulcers because they have a certain tendency to become cancerous and may lead to perforated peptic bleeding in severe patients. If a gastric ulcer is accompanied by acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding, untimely treatment may lead to death. In addition, gastric ulcer has a certain tendency to become cancerous, especially for people with a high incidence of gastric cancer such as Helicobacter pylori infection, older age, and family history of gastric cancer, it is important to review gastroscopy regularly and treat it actively. If the pathology is found to be cancerous, surgery should be performed as soon as possible, which usually does not have a great impact on life expectancy. Gastric ulcer is a curable disease and most patients can survive for a long time, but patients need to be actively treated and regular review of gastroscopy should not be too worried, as too much psychological pressure is not good for disease control.
