Understanding Peptic Ulcer Disease
Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which open sores develop in the lining of the stomach or duodenum. These ulcers can cause abdominal pain, burning sensations, bloating, nausea, and indigestion. If left untreated, they may lead to complications such as bleeding, perforation, or obstruction.
Peptic ulcers are commonly caused by infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) or prolonged use of certain pain-relieving medicines such as NSAIDs. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, reducing stomach acid, and allowing the ulcer to heal. With appropriate medical care, most peptic ulcers can be effectively treated and prevented from recurring.

- Black/tarry stools (bleeding ulcer)
