Gastric Pain & Stomach Ulcer Treatment in Johor Bahru

Sakit Gastrik & Ulser Perut

Gastric pain is one of the most common complaints at Malaysian clinics. Whether it is a burning sensation in the upper abdomen, a gnawing pain that worsens on an empty stomach, or acid rising into the chest, gastric problems significantly affect quality of life. Key causes include H. pylori bacterial infection, peptic ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Malaysia's food culture — with its abundance of spicy dishes, coffee, and irregular meal times — is a major contributor to gastric problems.

Symptoms of Gastric Pain & Stomach Ulcer

Burning or gnawing upper abdominal pain
Pain worse on empty stomach or after eating
Acid reflux and heartburn
Bloating and excessive belching
Nausea, especially in the morning
Dark or tarry stools (sign of bleeding ulcer)

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if gastric pain persists for more than a week, wakes you up at night, is accompanied by vomiting blood or dark stools, causes unintentional weight loss, or does not improve with over-the-counter antacids. These may indicate a peptic ulcer or more serious condition.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

At Klinik Muhibbah, our doctors assess your gastric symptoms thoroughly and prescribe the appropriate treatment. For GERD and gastritis, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like omeprazole are the mainstay treatment. If H. pylori infection is suspected, we prescribe a triple-therapy antibiotic regimen to eradicate the bacteria. We also provide dietary counselling — including advice on meal timing, avoiding trigger foods, and reducing NSAID use — for long-term gastric health.
