Gastroduodenal Ulcers
Peptic Ulcers
Ulcers occur in the Stomach and Duodenum as a result of excess acidity, H. pulori infection, or due to excess use of gastric irritants such as Aspirin or alcohol. It is only relatively recently that it was discovered that bacterial infection by H. pylori is related to many cases of Gastroduodenal Ulcer.
A primary presenting symotom is upper abdominal pain.
Western Medicine treatment involves medicines that inhibit acid production, or antibiotics in the case of bacterial infection.
