Peptic ulcer( stomach problem)

Peptic ulcer disease forms painful sores or ulcers in the lining of your stomach or first part of your small intestine, which your doctor may call the duodenum.
peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inside lining of your stomach and the upper portion of your small intestine.
The most common symptom of a stomach ulcer is a burning or gnawing pain in the centre of the abdomen (tummy).
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

Causes of Peptic Ulcers:
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori): a bacteria that can cause a stomach infection and inflammation
frequent use of aspirin, ibuprofen, and other anti-inflammatory drugs (risk associated with this behavior increases in women and people over the age of 60)
smoking
drinking too much alcohol
radiation therapy

What is the treatment for peptic ulcers?
The goal of ulcer treatment is to relieve pain, heal the ulcer, and prevent complications. The first step in treatment involves the reduction of risk factors (NSAIDs and cigarettes). The next step is medications.

Medications can include:
Antibiotic medications to kill H. pylori
Medications that block acid production and promote healing.
Medications to reduce acid production.
Antacids that neutralize stomach acid.
Medications that protect the lining of your stomach and small intestine.

PPIs: reduce stomach acid and protect the lining of your stomach and duodenum.

PPIs include:
esomeprazole (Nexium)
dexlansoprazole (Dexilant)
lansoprazole (Prevacid)
omeprazole (Prilosec, Zegerid)
pantoprazole (Protonix)
rabeprazole (AcipHex)
