Published by BUPA's Health Information Team September 2003 A peptic ulcer is an area of damage to the lining of either the stomach or the duodenum (the part of the digestive tract that immediately follows the stomach). Peptic ulcers can cause symptoms of indigestion, including pain, which may be severe. They can usually be treated with medicines but left untreated can lead to serious complications. An ulcer in the stomach is called a gastric or stomach ulcer. In the duodenum it's called a duodenal ulcer. Peptic ulcers are usually raw patches that are 1-2cm in diameter. When viewed with a gastroscope (a telescope that doctors use to examine the stomach) they look a little like mouth ulcers. Duodenal ulcers affect up to 1 in 10 people at some point in their lives, and tend to affect especially younger men. Stomach ulcers are less common. They are rare in people before middle age and are most common in elderly people.

Extractions: Go to PDF Version Peptic Ulcers Peptic ulcers are open craters or sores that develop in the inner lining (mucosa) of the stomach or the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine). A coating of mucus and other chemicals normally shield the stomach and duodenum from digesting themselves. When these protective mechanisms are disrupted, powerful digestive acids can erode into the lining of these organs and cause peptic ulcers. CAUSES The most common cause of peptic ulcers is infection by a bacterium called Helicobacter Pylori (or H. Pylori, for short). H. Pylori infection breaks down the protective mucous barrier, exposing the stomach and duodenum to digestive juices. Chronic inflammation develops in the duodenum (duodenitis) or stomach (gastritis); if untreated, this can evolve into a peptic ulcer. 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. Other causes of peptic ulcers include Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) e.g. Aspirin, viral illnesses and certain rare tumors. Smoking, genetics, and alcohol consumption may be contributing factors. Psychological stress and diet (spicy foods, etc.), which were once thought to be causative, are no longer considered to be significant.

Extractions: Download this Patient Note in PDF format VOL 105 / NO 3 / MARCH 1999 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE The news for America's 25 million ulcer sufferers is good. It's usually not lifestyle that causes that gnawing pain. Most likely it's a bacterial infection. And the infection can be treated and permanently eliminated in most people. All it usually takes is 2 weeks of treatment with a combination of antibiotics and a drug that blocks acid production in the stomach. Just a few years ago, most of us believed ulcers were caused by too much spicy food, too much coffee, too much alcohol, and too much stress. But now we know that about 90% of ulcers are caused by a tough little germ called Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) that lives on the lining of the stomach. H pylori is common everywhere in the world, although it does not always cause ulcers. Scientists in Australia were the first to recognize that many people with ulcers had strange, corkscrewlike bacteria in their stomachs. Convincing the world that infection can cause ulcers is no easy task, however. To prove his point, one of the Australian doctors infected himself with H pylori and quickly became sick with typical ulcer symptoms. His experiment led to the first major breakthrough proving ulcers could be cured.

Extractions: HEART CANCER WOMEN MEN ... ALL TOPICS A - Z A peptic ulcer is a sore on the lining of the stomach or duodenum (the beginning of the small intestine). This kind of ulcer is common. According to the National Institutes of Health, one in every ten Americans will have an ulcer at some point. Stomach pain can indicate a number of other problems (Read about " Dealing with Heartburn " " GERD ") But the type of pain associated with ulcers has certain distinct characteristics. According to the American Gastroenterological Association: Other symptoms include weight loss, loss of appetite, bloating, burping, nausea, and vomiting. Causes of peptic ulcers Contrary to some long-held beliefs, experts now say that peptic ulcers are not caused by stress or spicy foods. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the main cause of peptic ulcer is a bacterial infection. Researchers have discovered that a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a primary cause of peptic ulcers. This bacteria is very common, but most people infected with it do not develop ulcers. We may come into contact with H. pylori through food or water. Basically, the bacteria weakens the stomach's lining, allowing acid to get through, causing irritation and ultimately letting a sore develop.

http://medicalcenter.osu.edu/patientcare/healthinformation/diseasesandconditions

Extractions: Skip Navigation 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.
