Peptic Ulcer Doctors in Malta
Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach or upper small intestine, commonly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or long-term NSAID use. Gastroenterologists diagnose peptic ulcers through upper endoscopy and H. pylori testing, and treat them with acid-suppressing medications and antibiotic eradication therapy. Untreated ulcers can lead to serious complications including bleeding and perforation.
