A duodenal
ulcer is
a sore that forms in the lining of the duodenum.
You can get an ulcer in
your stomach as well as in your duodenum.
Stomach ulcers and duodenal
ulcers are
both types of peptic ulcers.
If you have either of these, you have what's called
'peptic ulcer disease.
-
The main symptom of a stomach or
duodenal ulcer is upper abdominal
pain, which can be dull, sharp, or
burning (a hunger-like feeling).
(Bloating and
burping are not symptoms
of peptic ulcer, and vomiting,
poor appetite, and nausea are
uncommon symptoms of peptic ulcer.)
-
Other associated symptoms may
include:
-
Acid reflux or heartburn
-
Feeling satiated (full) when
eating
-
Peptic ulcer formation is related to H.
pylori bacteria
in the stomach and nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory medications
(NSAIDs) in 50% of patients. For the
remaining 50% there are
miscellaneous causes such as drugs,
lifestyle factors (smoking), severe
physiological stress,
and genetic factors, but less
frequently the cause is unknown.
-
Ulcer pain may
not correlate with the presence or
severity of ulceration.Diagnosis of
an ulcer can be made with an upper
GI series or endoscopy.
