There is no simple answer because ulcers can both come and go over a period of days, or might last for weeks or months. It all depends on how much acid is present vs. to what degree the defensive mechanisms of the stomach lining have broken down. There is a constant interplay between these two processes.
Depends on the type and size. Ulcers have been found to be caused by bacteria will only go away with antibiotics. Ulcers that are caused by stress and or medications will go away on their own at the rate your body heals. It's important to keep a healthy eating regimen either way so as to assist your body's natural healing process.
They will last till you treat them adequately
