🍒🍓🍒🍓🍒What Is A Stomach Ulcer?🍓🍒🍓🍒🍓🍒0729350755
✔Stomach ulcers (often called peptic ulcers) are painful sores that develop in the lining of your digestive system. They usually form in the stomach but can also sometimes develop in the small intestine (especially a part called the duodenum) or the esophagus.
Here’s the basics of how ulcers work:
Ulcers form when any combination of excess gastric acids, bacteria, drugs or other “toxins” cause damage and small openings to the mucosa, the tissue that lines the stomach, parts of the small intestine, and other organs. Mucosa normally protect particles from leaking out.
When someone has an ulcer, hydrochloric acid and pepsin (a type of digestive enzyme that digests proteins) build up and destroy parts of the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. The stomach usually manages acid/pepsin by creating a thick mucus coating that is supposed to act as a buffer between the stomach lining and the acids inside the stomach. The mucus coating itself usually produces certain chemicals that help repair the stomach lining, keep blood circulating and carry out cellular renewal processes. But some part of this process can become disturbed, and the lining of the GI tract can become exposed, forming small sores (ulcers).
When you eat a meal, food washes the acid in your stomach away temporarily, as it’s used to break down the nutrients in the recently consumed food. But then once your food is digested, the acid once again accumulates in the stomach and can wash against the “raw base” of the ulcer, exposing and opening it up. This causes a burning, painful sensation, sometimes one that’s very strong.
✔✔✔✔Types of Stomach Ulcers✔✔✔✔
Ulcers can develop in various parts of the GI tract, including the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. Contrary to popular belief, research shows that men develop duodenal ulcers (located in the small intestines) more often than any other kind, including stomach ulcers. On the other hand, the opposite is true for women: They tend to develop more stomach ulcers and fewer ulcers of the duodenal.
✔✔✔✔Duodenal ulcers:✔✔✔✔
The duodenum is the proximal portion of the small intestine that is about 10 inches long and plays an important role in the digestion of food, since it holds bile. The bile duct and pancreatic duct both empty into the duodenal, so it can be obstructed or dilated when bile production changes in response to other things going on in the body.
✔✔✔✔✔Esophageal ulcers: ✔✔✔✔✔
This is a peptic ulcer that develops just above your stomach in your esophagus, the tube that carries food from your mouth down to your digestive organs.
✔✔✔✔✔Bleeding ulcers: ✔✔✔✔✔
Unresolved ulcers can start bleeding, which causes other complications. Bleeding ulcers are considered the most dangerous of all. Bleeding internally can also contribute to ulcers when there’s a broken blood vessel in your stomach or small intestine.
✔✔✔✔✔Gastric ulcers:✔✔✔✔✔
In some people with ulcers, there’s an increase in the amount of hyperacidity of the gastric juices, changing the effects that stomach acid has on the lining of the GI tract. In general, gastric ulcers are another name to describe small openings in the stomach lining that leads to stomach ulcer formation.
Stomach Ulcer Symptoms
Surprisingly, about two-thirds of people found to have peptic ulcers are asymptomatic.
.....NB
Ulcer symptoms are not only painful, but can also lead to complications, such as infections, changes in appetite and ongoing nausea/vomiting. Ulcers can cause a range of symptoms, some that are more mild and go away quickly, but others that linger and cause a good deal of pain. Symptoms of ulcers are usually noticeable and painful, especially when they become severe, such as is the case with a high percentage of duodenal ulcers.
✔✔✔✔✔signs and symptoms✔✔✔✔✔
🍓abdominal pains and burning sensations, including bloating (especially after eating and between the belly and breastbone)
🍓bleeding when vomiting or going to the bathroom
🍓nausea and vomiting
🍓darker stools
🍓loss of appetite and changes in body weight
🍓trouble sleeping due to pain
🍓other digestive complaints like heartburn, acid reflux, feeling gassy
🍓the risk for perforation
🍓dehydration, weakness and fatigue (if food intake is changed in response to pain when eating)
🍓diarrhea can occur as a symptom even before other stomach ulcer symptoms start
🍒🍒Risk factors for developing ulcers🍒🍒
✔✔Infection in the digestive system caused by the bacteria H. pylori. H. pylori is believed to be the cause of most peptic ulcers.
✔✔Long-term use of nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory medications or over-the-counter drugs (such as NSAID pain relievers like ibuprofen and aspirin, which can lead to ibuprofen overdose).
✔✔Having a run-down immune system caused by high levels of inflammation, a poor diet, high amounts of stress and other poor lifestyle habits.
✔✔Being a woman. In general, women are more likely to have ulcers than men, especially if they’re over the age of 70 and take over-the-counter drugs or medications regularly.
✔✔Smoking ci******es and excessive alcohol use;
✔✔Family history, as ulcers also seem to run in families. .
✔✔Older age. The peak age for experiencing ulcers is between 55 and 65 years old. As people get older, they tend to have weaker immune systems and higher levels of inflammation, which raises the risk for H. pylori infections that damage the stomach lining and can lead to the formation of “bleeding ulcers"
Causes and risk factors for ulcers
In the majority of all ulcer cases, the cause of ulcers can be linked to a bacterial infection known as a Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) as well as the chronic use of over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen.
❌❌Occasionally, gastric ulcers can become cancerous (gastric cancer). Vomiting blood, passing black stools, or blood in the stool (blood loss) also may be signs of stomach cancer and peptic ulcers.❌❌
