[…] FOLLOW-UP […] Whether or not you need follow-up monitoring for your ulcer depends on the size, location, and cause of the ulcer; how the ulcer has responded to treatment; and whether there were any complications. If your ulcer was due to H. pylori, your health care provider will order a test to confirm that the infection is gone. A stool or breath test is performed four to eight weeks after the initial course of treatment is completed. If the H. pylori has not been eradicated, then another course of treatment will be prescribed.
