Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
6. Pain
In many cases, a peptic ulcer won’t cause many symptoms for the patient. In some cases, they will barely know the ulcer is even there a lot of the time. However, one symptom that a lot of people with a peptic ulcer will experience is pain. Many patients describe the pain as a gnawing or burning sensation coming from where their stomach is.
Pain is not the only symptom that patients will experience, and other symptoms include heartburn, indigestion, and nausea. Some patients will feel these other symptoms without feeling any pain. If you do have a severe pain in the stomach then you should arrange to get it checked out.
