10 Stomach Ulcer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Loss of Weight
If you notice that you have lost weight without even trying, you probably have a health problem such as a stomach ulcer. This is more likely if you have other stomach ulcer symptoms such as abdominal pain, dark, tarry stools, and vomiting blood. Abdominal pain and vomiting can lead to self-restricted feeding.
This can lead to reduced intake of nutrients that are necessary for maintaining normal body weight. Tarry stools and vomiting blood that go on for some time means that you may end up losing a significant amount of blood. Reduced food intake and sustained loss of blood can lead to loss of weight besides other complications including anemia.
