A gastric ulcer that is no longer painful can only mean that the ulcer is improving, not that the ulcer has reached clinical cure. The total treatment time for ulcer disease is 4-6 weeks, and in some cases it takes up to 8 weeks or more. Of course it is also related to one’s diet or the presence of compliant medication, or the presence of H. pylori infection. If it is positive, anti-H. pylori treatment is required. For gastric ulcers, there is a specific type of ulcer that may appear asymptomatic if it does not invade the submucosa and does not irritate the nerves; this is clinically known as an asymptomatic gastric ulcer. For this type of ulcer, most of them have no pain and do not experience nausea, vomiting or other discomfort. Therefore, the ulcer cannot be judged based on pain, and the fact that there was pain and now there is no pain only means that the ulcer has improved, not that it has reached a clinical cure.
