1. Complications of gastric ulcer

1. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common complication of ulcer disease. About 20% to 30% of ulcer patients have a history of bleeding, and bleeding from duodenal ulcer is more common than from gastric ulcer. According to statistics, among the various causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers account for about 50%, ranking first. Most peptic ulcer bleeding (about 80%) can stop on its own. About 30% of bleeding may recur after the first bleeding, and 80% to 90% of re-bleeding occurs within 48 hours after the initial bleeding. Gastric ulcers (32% to 48%) are more common than duodenal ulcers. Bleeding tends to occur within 1 to 2 years after the onset of ulcer disease. About 10% to 15% of ulcer patients present with bleeding as the first symptom.

2. Ulcer perforation

Peptic ulcer perforation can be clinically divided into three types: acute, subacute and chronic, with an incidence rate of 5% to 10%. The incidence of duodenal ulcer is higher than that of gastric ulcer. According to domestic and foreign literature, the ratio of the former to the latter is about 6 to 15:1 in my country, 12 to 19:1 in Western countries before 1953, and 6 to 8:1 after the 1960s. Ulcer perforation can occur at any age, but is more common in people aged 30 to 50 years old. Duodenal ulcer perforation is more common in young and middle-aged people under 40 years old, while gastric ulcer perforation is more common in middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old.

It can effectively accelerate the healing of gastric ulcer wounds and form a protective film in the stomach, making it difficult for the stomach to be affected by external stimuli. Cuttlefish bones are the best material for treating gastric ulcers. Since the gastric mucosa of patients with gastric ulcers will be corroded by gastric acid, cuttlefish bones are needed to help wound heal. This method will not cause any irritation to the stomach and is a popular folk remedy for many patients with gastric ulcers.
