Ulcer Disease

Ulcer disease could be a break within the inner lining of the stomach, the primary a part of the little intestine, or sometimes the lower esophagus. An ulcer within the stomach is termed a peptic ulceration, while one within the first a part of the intestines may be a peptic ulceration. The foremost common symptoms of a peptic ulcer are waking at the hours of darkness with upper abdominal pain and upper abdominal pain that improves with eating. With a peptic ulceration, the pain may worsen with eating. The pain is commonly described as a burning or dull ache. Other symptoms include belching, vomiting, weight loss, or poor appetite. Diet doesn't play a very important role in either causing or preventing ulcers. Treatment includes stopping smoking, stopping use of NSAIDs, stopping alcohol, and taking medications to decrease stomach acid.
