Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

I can understand your concern. This possibility is very rare but not impossible. There can be recurrence chances. You need investigations and physical examination by a gastroenterologist to know whether you have stomach TB or not. It is not very easy to just diagnose by couple of symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. If you are satisfied, you may now close the discussion and rate the answer.


Wish you good health!
