What is the typical recovery timeline for duodenal and esophageal ulcers treated with proton pump inhibitors, and do persistent symptoms of occasional vomiting and dark stools indicate a serious complication such as active gastrointestinal bleeding?

Asked by Male, 19 · 10 days ago

With proton pump inhibitors, duodenal ulcers typically heal in 4 weeks, while esophageal ulcers can take 4 to 8 weeks. Persistent symptoms like occasional vomiting and dark stools can sometimes indicate ongoing irritation or possible bleeding. While this sounds concerning, it is highly treatable. I gently encourage you to contact your doctor or visit an urgent care clinic promptly to have this checked out. They can easily evaluate this and adjust your treatment to ensure you heal safely and comfortably.
