Are Diarrhoea And Upper Abdominal Pain Symptoms Of Stomach Ulcer?

Hi, I have had upper abdominal pain mostly just above my belly button but also right around my sides and back for about 2-3 months plus soft light coloured stools that float and sometimes diarrea . It has gotten worse causing pain all day, but particularly bad at night. I then developed headaches, bad heartburn, sore throat and got very sick overnight vomiting. I had an ultrasound done and it picked up I had an enlarged spleen but all other organs fine. My doctor thinks I have a stomach ulcer and prescribed me Pantoprazole until the endoscope can be done. I am feeling way better in just two days of taking this medication. Does this mean he is correct in suspecting a stomach ulcer or is it possible to be stomach cancer?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have gastritis, peptic ulcer or stomach cancer. Pantoprazole is Proton pump inhibitor. It causes blockage in acid secretion. You should go for endoscopy. If needed go for endoscopic biopsy. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
