About Ulcer Disease

Ulcer Disease is a condition that affects the lining of the stomach or duodenum, leading to the formation of ulcers. This condition is often caused by the long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can cause irritation and inflammation in the stomach lining. It can also be caused by infection, such as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, which can lead to the formation of ulcers. Ulcer disease can cause severe pain, bleeding, and complications, such as peritonitis (perforation of the peritoneal cavity) and death. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, vomiting, or diarrhea, as these can be signs of a more severe ulcer disease. Early detection and treatment can help prevent complications and improve outcomes.
