Generally speaking, Ulcer means wound. These lesions occur in different parts of the digestive system and can lead to complications. This disease occurs when acid is produced in excess in the digestive system. On the other hand, this disease occurs in few cases even when acid levels are normal. The main cause of this disease is acid level which is more than normal.
The disease usually occurs in the first part of the esophagus or small intestine. However, this disease can be divided into two categories. An ulcer that occurs inside the esophagus is called a gastric ulcer. An ulcer that occurs in the first part of the small intestine is called a duodenal ulcer. As with the problem of having to much acid in the esophagus, an infection with the H. Pylori bacteria can also cause small ulcers.
Symptoms:
Gastric ulcer:
There are several symptoms of this disease. They are very common. Heartburn, pain in the upper part of the stomach, bloating or flatulence after eating, salty water coming out of the mouth, vomiting, etc., Should be understood as a peptic ulcer. Apart from this, know one more thing, in case of gastric ulcer, i.e. if there is an ulcer in the esophagus, the stomach will burn after eating. At this time the patient will be afraid to eat, reluctance to eat will develop.
Duodenal ulcer:If the duodenal ulcer is a small ulcer, it will irritate the stomach if the stomach is empty or if you have not eaten for a long time. Many times when the stomach is empty for a long time at night, the patient gets out of the bed with heartburn and looks for some food. These are very common symptoms. From this it is possible to diagnose this disease.
[NOTE: If you have heartburn, upper abdominal pain and slight gas after eating, do not take over-the-counter medicines and consult a doctor. Bloating in a symptom of an ulcer. If these symptoms persist, it is not negligence at all.]
Treatment:
Abstain from smoking, drinking alcohol, overcome stress, eat on time, do not take pain medication without doctor's advice, etc. As a result, you will stay away from not only ulcers, but many other disease.
warning: Taking pain medication without doctor's advice can not only causes peptic ulcer but also heart problems.
Treatment involves reducing acid levels. Treatment for H. Pylori is to eradicate the infection. But let's say this, before this disease had to be operated. But in modern medical system, this disease does not require any surgery. Now medicine can completely cure the disease. But I am saying the same again, if you have problems, do not aggravate the disease by taking gas, heartburn medicine for temporary relief. If there is a problem, come to the doctor.
