Peptic And Duodenal Ulcers

 

Peptic and duodenal ulcers are sores or lesions that develop in the stomach lining. Additionally, Peptic ulcers are known as “gastric ulcers.” Helicobacter pylori infection is frequently the cause of peptic and duodenal ulcers. Long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) is another common reason. Homeopathic treatments for peptic and duodenal ulcers aid in the healing of stomach sores and guard against the development of stomach ulcers in the chronic stage. Stress, alcohol use, and tobacco use are risk factors that increase a person’s likelihood of developing stomach ulcers. Due to the aforementioned factors, the stomach’s protective mucus lining is diminished.

 

Introduction: 

 

Peptic and duodenal ulcers are conditions where the lining of the stomach or the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine, develops sores or ulcers that are extremely painful. A thick layer of mucus frequently covers the stomach lining to protect it from the damaging effects of the fluids that support digestion. The tissue is susceptible to harm from acid from the stomach if the protective layer is compromised by several kinds of circumstances. Your doctor will first get a thorough history of your symptoms and risk factors, including how long you’ve had indigestion and pain and how intense it is, whether you’ve recently lost weight, what prescription and OTC medications you’ve been taking, how much you smoke and drink, and whether anyone in your family has ever experienced Peptic and Duodenal Ulcers.

Your doctor will perform a thorough examination of your belly, chest, and rectal area as part of the physical examination to look for indications of bleeding. These tests assist in ensuring that you have not been unknowingly bleeding (occult bleeding).

 

Causes and Symptoms:

 

Experts once believed that lifestyle elements like stress and food contributed to ulcers. We now know that stomach acids and other digestive secretions contribute to the development of ulcers. Peptic and duodenal ulcers may result from:

• Helicobacter pylori is a type of bacteria. The H. pylori bacteria, or germ infection, is the primary cause of most Peptic and duodenal ulcers. This bacteria damages the mucus that covers the lining of your stomach and the duodenum, which is the first segment of your small intestine.
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, or NSAIDs. They have the potential to harm your stomach’s protective mucous over time.

Additionally, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome  (gastrinoma), a rare disorder, can cause peptic and duodenal ulcers. This disease develops an acid-producing tumor in the digestive tract. These malignant tumors might or might not be considered cancerous.
