10 Stomach Ulcer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Anemia
A bleeding stomach ulcer can lead to a significant loss of blood and ultimately cause iron deficiency anemia. This may happen over a long period of time if the ulcer does not present with other serious symptoms like abdominal pain and bloody vomiting.
Blood from the ulcers is excreted in stools, which will appear dark and tarry. But without taking notice of the dark color of their stools, it may take the affected person a long time before becoming aware of their health problem. Anemia symptoms like breathlessness, weakness, and loss of weight may ultimately cause the person to visit a medical facility. Being aware of the common stomach ulcer symptoms, you can request for a test to determine if you have a peptic ulcer.
