Healthy Discussions join our public forums All About Peptic Ulcer Net Research by Dr. Fatima Gul (London, UK) What is a peptic ulcer? 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? produced tends to get less with age. 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.

That the acid hypothesis could even be challenged, much less toppled, appeared as unthinkable 10 years ago as the fall of Communism in the former USSR. Within the last few years, strong evidence has accumulated, however, about H.pylori

Peptic Ulcer ... see also AGI sheet What is a peptic ulcer? A peptic ulcer is a raw area or small hole in the lining of the stomach or the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). Most ulcers occur in the duodenum (duodenal ulcers); a smaller number develop in the stomach (gastric ulcers). What causes a peptic ulcer? Gastric juice produced by the lining of the stomach contains acid and an enzyme (called pepsin) that digests protein in our food. This acidic juice can cause an erosion of the lining of the stomach or duodenum if it is excessive. This lining is normally protected by a layer of thick mucus, like a coating of slime. Once it is broken, the raw area of an ulcer can form. A common modern cause is the use of drugs to treat pain and arthritis, known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). What are the symptoms? Common symptoms are: upper abdominal pain (just under the ribs) heartburn or indigestion 'hunger pain' when the stomach is empty (between meals and at night) pain relieved by antacids and milk Uncommon symptoms are: back pain (between the shoulder blades) bleeding-vomiting blood and blood in motions Who is prone to ulcers?

Peptic indicates it is related to digestion. It occurs in tissues which are bathed by secretions containing acid and pepsin. The stomach is a unique organ which has the ability to hold very concentrated solutions of acid, as well as the protein digestive enzyme pepsin, without damage to itself. This unique ability is due to a highly specialised protective barrier made up of a continuous mucous layer which maintains a near alkaline pH at the cell surface in spite of the concentrated acid in the stomach sac, very tight junctions between the cells, and a very good blood supply.

The inflammation may be precipitated by aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs). Duodenal ulcers are commonly associated with the presence of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori in the stomach. Risk factors are aspirin and NSAID use, cigarette smoking , and older age. Duodenal ulcer has historically occurred more frequently in men, but more recent data suggest similar rates in both men and women.

Q: My father and my brother have peptic ulcer disease. Is this condition hereditary? A: Five to ten percent of people in the United States will be diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease in their lifetime. There does appear to be some genetic correlation to the development of peptic ulcer disease. Ulcers in the duodenum (the part of the intestines just after the stomach) are more common in first-degree relatives (child, sibling) of an individual with duodenal ulcers. Both stomach and duodenal ulcers are more common in men than women. As we learn more about the human genome, and what genes link to specific conditions, it may be possible to identify individuals and families who are at increased risk for ulcer disease. Are there other risk factors I should know about? Risk factors, in general, are things that can make it more probable that someone develops a condition. Risk factors are usually different than causes. There are several important risk factors that can increase the likelihood of developing peptic ulcer disease. *Cigarette smoking: highly increased incidence of ulcer disease compared to non-smokers. Has been shown to slow the healing of ulcers and increase the likelihood that the ulcer will recur.

Previous Page Peptic Ulcer Role of H. Pylori Bacteria Medicomm News Service Approximately 25 million Indians suffer from peptic ulcer disease at some point in their lifetime. Each year there are 500,000 to 850,000 new cases of peptic ulcer disease and more than one million ulcer-related hospitalizations. A peptic ulcer is a sore on the lining of the stomach or duodenum, which is the beginning of the small intestine. Ulcers can develop at any age, but they are rare among teenagers and even uncommon in children. Duodenal ulcers occur for the first time usually between the ages of 30 and 50 years. Stomach ulcers are more likely to develop in people older than 60 years. Duodenal ulcers occur more frequently in men than women; stomach ulcers develop more often in women than men. Although we used to think that spicy food, acid and stress were the major causes of ulcers, but we now know that nine out of ten ulcers are caused by H. pylori, a type of bacteria. H. pylori weakens the protective mucous coating of the stomach and duodenum, which allows acid to get through to the sensitive lining beneath. Both the acid and the bacteria irritate the lining and cause an ulcer. Medicines that reduce stomach acid may make you feel better, but your ulcer may recur. Here's the good news: Since most ulcers are caused by this bacterial infection, they can be cured with the right antibiotics.

Closely related to Helicobacter are species of the genera Aquaspirillum Azospirillum Spirillum , and Camplyobacter . The genetics of Helicobacter pylori are complex; there are many strains of H . pylori which are distinguished by the human disease with which they are associated. Once Helicobacter pylori colonizes its host, it lives in the interface between the surface of gastric epithelial cells and the overlying mucus gel layer, often clustering at the junctions of epithelial cells. In addition H. pylori can also be found on top of the gastric epithelium in the duodenum and esophagus. It was not until 1983 that H . pylori was recognized as having any medical importance. Now, it has been proven that H. pylori

Predisposing factors for both duodenal and gastric ulcers include alcohol, tobacco, aspirin and other NSAIDS, and physiologic stress such as multiple trauma, sepsis, neurosurgical problems, gastrinoma, other "ICU" stresses. There is no symptom complex that can adequately differentiate gastric from duodenal ulcers and nonulcer dyspepsia. Classically, food is reported to alleviate the pain of duodenal ulcers and exacerbate the pain of gastric ulcers. However, food may exacerbate or relieve the pain of either type of ulcer; the pain of gastritis is reliably worsened by food. The pain of either type of ulcer may be felt as a gnawing pain in the chest, back, mid-abdomen, or either upper quadrant. Additionally, many ulcers are asymptomatic (especially those related to NSAIDS) and first present with a perforated viscus or GI bleed. Physical exam and lab should include a CBC to rule out anemia secondary to bleeding, as well testing stool for fecal occult blood.

However, when complications develop they can pose a serious threat to health. Patients can be treated with drugs or through surgery, but there is no firm evidence that this works. Bleeding ulcers can be a sign of general poor health. What is an ulcer? An ulcer is a sore or a hole that forms in the lining of the stomach or small intestine (duodenum). Approximately one in ten people will suffer from an ulcer. Each year about ten per cent of sufferers required surgery because of persistent symptoms. In a small minority of cases patients will die of ulcer-related complications. Who is at risk? Ulcers can develop at any age, but they are rare among teenagers and even more uncommon in children. Duodenal ulcers occur for the first time usually between the ages of 30 and 50. Stomach ulcers are more likely to develop in people over age 60. Duodenal ulcers occur more frequently in men than women; stomach ulcers develop more often in women than men.
