What is peptic ulcer?

Peptic ulcers are the sores that develop on the stomach lining. These include gastric ulcers which occur in the inside of the stomach and duodenal ulcer that occur on the inside of the duodenum or small intestine. One of the most common cause of peptic ulcer is bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).

What are its symptoms?

The common symptom of peptic ulcer is stomach pain which feels like burning sensation. Feeling of fullness, bloating, belching, food intolerance, heartburn and nausea are the other common symptoms of the disease.
When the disease gets serious, one might vomit blood, have trouble in breathing, have black stool, faint, expeirence nausea, have changes in appetite and might experience drastic weight loss.
