A peptic ulcer is a sore that forms in the lining of the stomach or the duodenum (the beginning of the small intestine). An ulcer can cause a gnawing, burning pain in the upper abdomen; nausea; vomiting; loss of appetite; and weight loss. Most peptic ulcers are caused by infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). But some peptic ulcers are caused by prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen sodium. NSAIDs cause ulcers by interfering with the stomach's ability to protect itself from acidic stomach juices. Normally the stomach has three defenses against digestive juices: mucus that coats the stomach lining and shields it from stomach acid, the chemical bicarbonate that neutralizes stomach acid, and blood circulation to the stomach lining that aids in cell renewal and repair. NSAIDs hinder all of these protective mechanisms, and with the stomach's defenses down, digestive juices can damage the sensitive stomach lining and cause ulcers. NSAID-induced ulcers usually heal once the person stops taking the medication. To help the healing process and relieve symptoms in the meantime, the doctor may recommend taking antacids to neutralize the acid and drugs called H2-blockers or proton-pump inhibitors to decrease the amount of acid the stomach produces.

Facts About Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers During normal digestion, food moves from the mouth down the esophagus into the stomach. The stomach produces hydrochloric acid and an enzyme called pepsin to digest the food. From the stomach, food passes into the upper part of the small intestine, called the duodenum, where digestion and nutrient absorption continue. An ulcer is a sore or lesion that forms in the lining of the stomach or duodenum where hydrochloric acid and pepsin are present. These ulcers are referred to as peptic ulcers gastric ulcers in the stomach and duodenal ulcers in the duodenum. About one in 10 Americans develop at least one ulcer during their lifetimes. Ulcers affect about five million people each year. More than 40,000 people each year have surgery because of persistent symptoms or problems from ulcers. Each year, nearly 6,000 people die of ulcer-related complications. Ulcers can develop at any age, but they are rare among teenagers and even more uncommon in children. Duodenal ulcers occur for the first time usually between the ages of 30 and 50.

Peptic Ulcers Ulcers are small, open craters or sores that develop in the lining of the stomach or the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine. The term peptic ulcer is generally used to describe both types of ulcers. Fortunately, there are a number of treatments that relieve the discomfort associated with ulcers and, other treatments to actually heal the ulcer, itself. Learning how your ulcer may have developed and understanding what irritates it and keeps it from healing will help you to work with your physician in establishing the most effective treatment plan. ORIGINS The current "revolution" in ulcer cause and treatment was first noted by Dr Barry Marshall, who discovered the presence of a small bacterium, under the microscope, attached to the lining of stomach wall samples taken from patients' ulcers, in 1982. These initial findings have been confirmed as a cause of ulcer disease The bacterium is called Helicobacter Pylori (or H Pylori, for short). Current medical opinion suggests that anyone with ulcer symptoms should, at some point, be checked for the presence of H Pylori. The importance of this finding is that, in many cases of H Pylori positive ulcers, antibiotics can actually heal the ulcer. This is a revolution in thinking. Some ulcers are caused by different factors such as certain medications, and illnesses. Peptic ulcers occur only in those areas of the digestive system that come in contact with digestive juices secreted by the stomach. These juices include stomach acid basically, hydrochloric acid - and an enzyme called pepsin, which breaks down proteins. While many people with duodenal ulcers have an overabundance of digestive juices spilling down from the stomach, most of those with gastric (stomach) ulcers have normal or even below-normal amounts of stomach acid. Medical researchers, therefore, believe that poor resistance of the protective mucous membrane that lines both the stomach and duodenum may contribute to the development of a peptic ulcer.

In the past, it was believed lifestyle factors, such as stress and diet caused ulcers. Later, researchers determined that stomach acids – hydrochloric acid and pepsin – contributed to ulcer formation. Today, research shows that most ulcers (80 percent of gastric ulcers and 90 percent of duodenal ulcers) develop as a result of infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). It is believed that, although all three of these factors – lifestyle, acid and pepsin, and H. pylori – play a role in ulcer development, H. pylori is considered to be the primary cause in most cases. Factors suspected of playing a role in the development of stomach or duodenal ulcers include: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)

Ulcers can form in the lining of the stomach (gastric ulcers) or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). While stomach acid plays a significant role in the development of ulcers, other factors may be involved; particularly infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori), smoking, and the long-term use of certain anti-inflammatory medicines. Symptoms of an ulcer vary, but may include upper abdominal pain or 'hunger pain' 1-3 hours after meals and in the middle of the night. In rare cases, serious complications can occur such as bleeding or perforation (erosion of the ulcer right through the gut wall). Most ulcers are effectively healed with treatment. Treatments for ulcers include:

index search health books site map Peptic ulcer Peptic ulcer refers to an area of the stomach or duodenal lining which becomes eroded by the stomach acid. These are known as stomach and duodenal ulcers, collectively known as peptic ulcers. Symptoms You may notice no symptoms although you have an ulcer, but frequently they are associated with indigestion or pain in the upper abdomen or even lower chest. This pain may be worse before or after eating and frequently wakes you in the early hours of the morning. The pain may go to the back or sometimes be perceived elsewhere. If an ulcer bleeds you may vomit blood or partially digested blood (which looks like coffee grounds) or pass black stools (melaena), which contain changed blood, when you go to the toilet. If any of these happen call the doctor immediately (even out of hours). Causes Many factors make you more likely to have an ulcer. It often seems to run in families. Smoking increases the risk. Heavy drinking. Certain drugs eg aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs We now know that a large percentage of people who have ulcers have a germ (Helicobacter pylori) in their stomach which they probably picked up many years previously, which makes the ulcer more likely to occur and more difficult to heal. Diagnosis Your doctor may treat you on the assumption of the diagnosis, but may well arrange either a barium meal X-Ray or a visual inspection using a fibre-optic tube passed down the throat (upper gastrointestinal endoscopy). The endoscopy is preferred by the experts as they can see the lining of the stomach and duodenum and take biopsies which allow them to rule out more serious conditions as well as looking for the presence of Helicobacter pylori.
