Q My ulcer heals but keeps recurring whenever I'm stressed or overdo it. Can I prevent it?
A Peptic ulcer is closely tied to stress, diet, Helicobacter, and painkillers, so management matters. Building up mucosal recovery and addressing triggers together can lengthen the recurrence interval and lower its intensity.
Detailed Answer
Even after finishing eradication, if stress builds up or overeating, drinking, and painkiller use repeat, the mucosa erodes again and recurs. It is not over just because it healed once—you must check the lifestyle factors and medication habits that invite recurrence to maintain stability.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine treatment focuses on building the stomach's basic fitness so the mucosa erodes less from stress or irritation even after the wound heals. We set a management method tailored to your lifestyle patterns and triggers, reducing recurrence together.
