A peptic ulcer is a sensitive, raw patch, very much like a mouth ulcer, which forms a break in the lining of the stomach or the duodenum. Gastric ulcers occur in the stomach and duodenal ulcers occur in the duodenum, the first part of the intestine after the stomach. How is an ulcer formed? A very important cause of developing an ulcer is a germ or bacterium called Helicobacter pylori , known as H. pylori . This is found in the lining of the stomach of about half of the adults in Britain and it is now certain that having this germ present makes developing ulcers much more likely. Patients with duodenal ulcer almost always have this germ present and at least 80% of gastric ulcer patients also have it. Medical research is actively investigating why it is that only some people who are infected with the germ get ulcers. Who has an ulcer? Ulcers are common in Britain and men are more prone to suffer than women. About one in ten men and one in fifteen women suffer from an ulcer at some time in their lives, but in most people they heal up with treatment. People who have H. pylori
