We read / Мы читаем

A peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of your stomach or your duodenum, the first part of your small intestine. A burning stomach pain is the most common symptom. The pain

· Starts between meals or during the night

· Briefly stops if you eat or take antacids

· Lasts for minutes to hours

· Comes and goes for several days or weeks

Peptic ulcers happen when the acids that help you digest food damage the walls of the stomach or duodenum. The most common cause is infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. Another cause is the long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Stress and spicy foods do not cause ulcers, but can make them worse.

To see if you have an H. pylori infection, your doctor will test your blood, breath, or stool. Your doctor also may look inside your stomach and duodenum by doing an endoscopy or x-ray.

Peptic ulcers will get worse if not treated. Treatment may include medicines to reduce stomach acids or antibiotics to kill H. pylori. Antacids and milk can't heal peptic ulcers. Not smoking and avoiding alcohol can help. You may need surgery if your ulcers don't heal.

PEPTIC ULCERS

Peptic ulcer is a lesion that occurs primarily in the mucous membrane of the stomach or duodenum (the upper segment of the small intestine); it is produced when external factors reduce the ability of the mucosal lining to resist the acidic effects of gastric juice (a mixture of the digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid). Evidence now indicates that infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the two main causes of peptic ulcer.

    Between 10 and 15 percent of the world’s population suffers from peptic ulcers. Duodenal ulcers, which account for 80% of peptic ulcers, are more common in men than in women, but stomach ulcers affect women more frequently. The symptoms of gastric and duodenal ulcers are similar and include a gnawing, burning and hunger-like pain in the mid-upper abdomen, usually experienced from one to three hours after meals and several hours after retiring.

    Infection with Helicobacter pylori is the most common bacterial infection in humans. Among those who suffer from peptic ulcers as many as 90% of those with duodenal ulcers and 70% with gastric ulcers are believed to be infected with Helicobacter pylori. Evidences also exists that untreated H. pylori infection may lead to stomach cancer. The recommended treatments for H. pylori-induced ulcers are antibiotics and drugs that stop the secretion of stomach acid.

    Most peptic ulcers not caused by H. pylori infection result from the ingestion of large quantities of NSAIDs, which are often prescribed for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Withdrawal of NSAID treatment usually allows the ulcer to heal. Complications of ulcers include bleeding, perforation of the abdominal wall and obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract.
