Stomach, Gastric or Peptic Ulcer

Description:

Hyperacidity leads to stomach ulcer. The reason for hyperacidity is hurry, worry and curry (spicy food). If  hyperacidity is not treated on time, it leads to a broken inflamed portion of the lining or mucosal membrane of  the stomach. The ulcer will usually be small and situated near the point where the stomach opens into the  duodenum on the lower posterior wall.

The symptom may be pain felt either at the front or in the back, which may be more severe before a meal.  There may be nausea and a feeling of bloatedness after meals. Some drugs, particularly aspirin, anti- inflammatory drugs and cortico-steroids encourage the formation of an ulcer.
