Peptic ulcer disease is common, affecting millions of Americans yearly. For many years excess acid was believed to be the major cause of ulcer disease. Accordingly, treatment emphasis was on neutralizing and inhibiting the secretion of stomach acid. While acid is still considered significant in ulcer formation, the leading cause of ulcer disease is currently believed to be infection of the stomach by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori H.

Medical Services Treatment of Peptic Ulcers at Mayo Clinic (Synonyms: stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers) Ulcer is a medical term for an open sore, and a peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of your stomach or small intestine. Left untreated, peptic ulcers can cause internal bleeding (commonly called a bleeding ulcer). Peptic ulcers may even perforate the wall of your stomach or small intestine. Peptic ulcers usually cause pain from stomach acid washing over the open sore. But the pain may decrease or even disappear when bleeding occurs because the blood buffers the acid. About 10 percent of people with bleeding peptic ulcers do not experience pain. Peptic ulcers are common. Five to 10 percent of Americans experience a peptic ulcer at some point in their lives. The good news is that the rate of bacterial infections that can cause some peptic ulcers seems to be dropping in the United States. You should not treat an ulcer on your own, without seeing a doctor. Over-the-counter antacids and acid blockers may relieve the frequent pain, but the relief is always short-lived. With a doctor's help, you can find prompt relief from ulcer pain as well as a lifelong cure from the disease.

New treatment for peptic ulcer disease VOL 105 / NO 3 / MARCH 1999 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE The news for America's 25 million ulcer sufferers is good. It's usually not lifestyle that causes that gnawing pain. Most likely it's a bacterial infection. And the infection can be treated and permanently eliminated in most people. All it usually takes is 2 weeks of treatment with a combination of antibiotics and a drug that blocks acid production in the stomach. Just a few years ago, most of us believed ulcers were caused by too much spicy food, too much coffee, too much alcohol, and too much stress. But now we know that about 90% of ulcers are caused by a tough little germ called Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) that lives on the lining of the stomach. H pylori is common everywhere in the world, although it does not always cause ulcers. Scientists in Australia were the first to recognize that many people with ulcers had strange, corkscrewlike bacteria in their stomachs. Convincing the world that infection can cause ulcers is no easy task, however. To prove his point, one of the Australian doctors infected himself with H pylori and quickly became sick with typical ulcer symptoms. His experiment led to the first major breakthrough proving ulcers could be cured.
