10 Symptoms and Treatments of a Duodenal Ulcer

6. Length of time it takes to treat ulcers

The recommended treatment and length of time it takes to treat duodenal ulcers varies in line with the cause of the ulcer. It should take just a month or two to cure the ulcer in the more common cases. These ulcers are unlikely to return after treatment, but this does happen occasionally. If the duodenal ulcer does reappear, it might indicate a failure to diagnose correctly its original cause, or perhaps this was not properly treated.
