Duodenal Ulcer 2 Diagnosis Treatment



4.3 DIAGNOSIS

In  most  cases, the history and examination  are  sufficient  to
provide a probable diagnosis.

*  A  barium meal study may show the ulcer crater,  deformity  of
   the duodenum or delayed emptying of the stomach.

*  However,  in  early  cases,  there  may  be  no   radiological
   findings.   Fibroendoscopy provides a firm diagnosis  even  in
   early cases.

*  Acid studies are required sometimes.
   (Petogastric and output)

4.4 TREATMENT

*  With H2 blockers (Ranitidine)

*  Diet and

*  Tranquilizer  can be started. 
   Surgical treatment is  required
   for  patient  with recurrence and  complications  and  include
   vagotomy, gastroenterestomy and subtotal gastric resection
