What are ulcers? What causes ulcers?
An ulcer is an area of skin loss involving the whole thickness of the skin, either caused by infection, trauma, or cell damage causing cell death. There are various kinds of ulcers from mouth and throat ulcers, stomach ulcers, internal and external skin ulcers.
A peptic ulcer is the most common ulcer which is the erosion in the lining of the stomach or duodenum. Each year there are over 800,000 new cases of peptic ulcer disease in the USA alone. A peptic ulcer located in the stomach is called a gastric ulcer. Peptic ulcers was thought to occur when the acid and enzyme which the body produces to break down eaten food, overcome the defense mechanisms like the mucus lining of the gastrointestinal tract and cause an erosion in the mucosal wall, however we no longer believe that lifestyle factors like spicey foods, cause these ulcers, but stress may have some impact by causing an imbalance some how in the immune system, although not proven completely. Some drugs like aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause ulcer's if taken regularly, and new research has shown that ulcers are now mostly caused by infection with a bacterium named Helicobacter pylori, usually called H. pylori and can be spread to other people via stools and not washing hands and is more common in African people. Regular drinking alcohol, smoking and disease like arthritis can also cause ulcers and inflame it more. Radiation burns especially 'chemo' treatments can cause ulcers. It is important to distinguish between ulcers caused by H. pylori and those caused by medications only, because the treatments are completely different.
Stomach pain is the most common symptom of a Peptic ulcer. It usually feels like sharp aches between the breastbone and the belly button. This pain often comes a few hours after eating. It can also happen during the night or early in the morning, when the stomach is empty. Eating something or taking an antacid medication sometimes makes the pain go away for awhile.
