The management of ulcer disease all depends on the etiology of the ulcer. If it’s secondary to a bacterial infection and you treat that, you should be cured and not have to worry about it in the future. If it has to do with your lifestyle that has to do with stress induced ulceration, those patients should definitely exercise more or try to find coping skills in order to reduce that stress.
