Diagnostic Questions for Gastroduodenal Ulcer
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Are your stools black and shiny like hair?
- Is your stomach pain localized to one specific area?
- Do you have stomach pain in the middle of your abdomen?
- Do you have discomfort in the upper abdomen, like an upset tummy?
- Do you frequently feel the need to have a bowel movement but can't?

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
