What is peptic ulcer disease?
Peptic ulcer disease is a condition that causes ulcers (open sores) to develop in the lining of your digestive tract. “Peptic” means it’s related to digestion. The word is derived from pepsin, the major digestive enzyme that your stomach produces.
Pepsin and stomach acid are the active ingredients in your stomach juices that help to chemically break down food for digestion. Some of these juices also pass into the first part of your small intestine (duodenum). By design, these juices are highly corrosive.
All of your gastrointestinal tract has a protective mucous lining that insulates it from the substances inside. It’s especially strong in your stomach and duodenum. But in peptic ulcer disease, this protection fails, and digestive juices corrode through the lining.
An ulcer is an erosion that penetrates through all three layers of the mucous lining (mucosa). Most peptic ulcers occur in your stomach or duodenum, where gastric juices are most active. Less commonly, they can also occur elsewhere in your GI tract.
