GASTRIC ULCER
GASTRIC ULCERS
Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inside lining of your stomach and the upper portion of your small intestine. The most common symptom of a peptic ulcer is stomach pain.
Peptic ulcers include:
Gastric ulcers that occur on the inside of the stomach
Duodenal ulcers that occur on the inside of the upper portion of your small intestine (duodenum)
The most common causes of peptic ulcers are infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve). Stress and spicy foods do not cause peptic ulcers. However, they can make your symptoms worse.
Symptoms
👉🏽Burning stomach pain
Feeling of fullness, bloating or belching
👉🏽Intolerance to fatty foods
Heartburn
Nausea
👉🏽The most common peptic ulcer symptom is burning stomach pain. Stomach acid makes the pain worse, as does having an empty stomach. The pain can often be relieved by eating certain foods that buffer stomach acid or by taking an acid-reducing medication, but then it may come back. The pain may be worse between meals and at night.
Many people with peptic ulcers don't even have symptoms.
Less often, ulcers may cause severe signs or symptoms such as:
👉🏽Vomiting or vomiting blood — which may appear red or black
👉🏽Dark blood in stools, or stools that are black or tarry
👉🏽Trouble breathing
👉🏽Feeling faint
👉🏽Nausea or vomiting
👉🏽Unexplained weight loss
👉🏽Appetite changes
RISK FACTORS
In addition to having risks related to taking NSAIDs, you may have an increased risk of peptic ulcers if you:
👉🏽Smoke. Smoking may increase the risk of peptic ulcers in people who are infected with H. pylori.
👉🏽Drink alcohol. Alcohol can irritate and erode the mucous lining of your stomach, and it increases the amount of stomach acid that's produced.
👉🏽Have untreated stress.
👉🏽Eat spicy foods.
Alone, these factors do not cause ulcers, but they can make ulcers worse and more difficult to heal.
Complication
Left untreated, peptic ulcers can result in:
👉🏽Internal bleeding. Bleeding can occur as slow blood loss that leads to anemia or as severe blood loss that may require hospitalization or a blood transfusion. Severe blood loss may cause black or bloody vomit or black or bloody stools.
👉🏽A hole (perforation) in your stomach wall. Peptic ulcers can eat a hole through (perforate) the wall of your stomach or small intestine, putting you at risk of serious infection of your abdominal cavity (peritonitis).
👉🏽Obstruction. Peptic ulcers can block passage of food through the digestive tract, causing you to become full easily, to vomit and to lose weight either through swelling from inflammation or through scarring.
👉🏽Gastric cancer. Studies have shown that people infected with H. pylori have an increased risk of gastric cancer.
