: The ulcer floor is covered with a thick white slough. The surrounding mucosa is edematously swollen with no regenerating epithelium. A2 (Active-2)
Below is a developed academic paper proposal structured to explore this topic. This paper treats "Sakitamiwa" as a , analyzing it through the lenses of medical anthropology and ethnomedicine.
Further sub-classifications of Sakitamiwa have been proposed based on the predominant symptoms:
The white coating has completely disappeared, and new epithelium fully covers the floor. Because the new tissue is thin and has many blood vessels, it appears as a "red scar". sakitamiwa classification

The chronological lifecycle of an ulcer under the Sakita-Miwa framework progresses linearly from a state of acute tissue damage to complete mucosal regeneration. The dynamic morphological features of each stage are detailed below:
To accurately track healing velocity over time or evaluate the power of new acid-suppressing therapeutics, scientists translate the qualitative visual stages of the Sakita-Miwa system into a standardized quantitative index. : The ulcer floor is covered with a thick white slough
: Edema decreases, the ulcer margin becomes clear, and small amounts of regenerating epithelium appear at the edges. Healing Stage (H1 & H2) H1 (Healing-1)
However, "Sakitamiwa" is not a standard term in modern Western medical literature (ICD-10 or ICD-11). It is most likely a folk illness concept or a traditional classification of symptoms.

: Over a few weeks to months, the excess blood vessels regress. The redness fades completely, leaving behind a pale, white, or translucent fibrous scar. At stage S2, the ulcer is officially classified as endoscopically cured . Quantitative Scoring in Clinical Research
, which is a widely recognized medical system used by gastroenterologists to stage the healing process of gastric ulcers.
The system is divided into three primary stages, each containing two sub-levels based on the visual appearance of the ulcer during an endoscopy: 1. The Active Stage (A) A1 (Active-1):
