Ulcer is a well-known disease among the public. People of any age can be affected by this disease. However, the risk of getting affected by this disease is higher in the elderly. If affected, it causes discomfort in daily life. Abdominal pain, heartburn become a daily companion. Again, complications increase if the ulcer is left untreated for a long time. Vomiting blood, bloody stools and even cancer can be caused by ulcers. However, the hope is that it is a curable disease. Moreover, the bacteria that cause ulcers can be identified during regular health check-ups. As a result, it is possible to stay healthy by destroying the bacteria by taking medicine before the wound is formed.
What is a peptic Ulcer?
Ulcer means wound or sore. When an ulcer is affected, wounds are formed in different parts of the digestive system. Acid is constantly produced automatically in our stomach. It helps in digesting our food. Since there is a layer or coating called mucous membrane between the normal amount of acid produced and the lining of the stomach, there is no direct damage to the lining of the stomach. But if the level of acid in the stomach increases for some reason, then the mucous membrane is damaged. As a result, the acid comes directly into contact with the lining of the stomach and small intestine and causes wounds. Such a wound condition in the digestive system is called ulcer.
Why does peptic ulcer occur?
Mainly, the bacteria Helicobacter pylori enters the body and causes infection. This bacteria enters the body through contaminated food and water. After entering the body, it damages the mucous membrane of the stomach and small intestine. As a result, the acid comes directly into contact with the lining of the stomach and small intestine and causes ulcers. Again, ulcers can also occur due to prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin. Apart from this, the risk of ulcers increases due to congenital weakness of the digestive system, alcoholism, smoking, insomnia, excessive anxiety and eating too many spicy and oily foods.
peptic ulcer disease symptoms:
There are two types of ulcers depending on the location of the ulcer. Gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. If the ulcer occurs in the stomach, it is called a gastric ulcer. It is also known as a gastric ulcer. And if the ulcer occurs in the small intestine, it is called a small intestine ulcer or duodenal ulcer. These two ulcers together are known as peptic ulcer.
peptic ulcer symptoms:
When an ulcer is affected, several signs and symptoms appear in the body. If these complications occur, one should seek medical attention immediately. This will make it possible to identify the ulcer at an early stage through the necessary health examination on the advice of a doctor. The signs and symptoms of an ulcer are:
✅ Pain in the upper abdomen. Stomach burns and the stomach is swollen.
✅Stomach pain occurs when you feel hungry.
✅Stomach pain increases during meals, after meals and at night.
✅Chest pain and burning.
✅Sometimes blood may come with vomiting.
✅Excessive belching and difficulty swallowing food.
✅Blood is passed with stool and the stool color is brown or black.
✅Excessive fatigue and loss of appetite, indigestion occur. Weight loss occurs rapidly.
peptic ulcer disease medical procedure:
Regular screening reduces health risks
🔷 The main cause of ulcers is infection with H. pylori bacteria. If the presence of this bacteria in the body is detected in regular health check-ups, it can be prevented with medication before the ulcer is formed.
🔷 Many people have to take painkillers regularly for certain health problems. Taking such medications in the long term can cause ulcers. They can find out the harmful effects of the medication through regular ulcer screening. If the disease is detected in its early stages, the treatment will be easier and the cure will be faster.
🔷 H. pylori bacteria enter the body through contaminated food and drink and cause ulcers. Open food on the side of the road, drinking alcohol, smoking, eating spicy foods, insomnia, excessive anxiety increase the risk of ulcers. Therefore, for those who lead an uncontrolled lifestyle. And eat unhealthy food, it is not right to ignore stomach pain or heartburn as a common problem. Long-term untreated ulcers can increase the risk of gastric cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the habit of regular health check-ups to avoid these risks.
How is screening done?
Endoscopy: The most effective method for diagnosing ulcers is endoscopy. In this method, a camera is inserted into the stomach with the help of a tube and a picture is taken directly of the affected area. Through this, it is possible to know exactly where, in which part and how much area the ulcer has spread.
Urea breath test: This method is very effective in determining the presence of H. pylori bacteria in the body. Urea breath test can be done in a very simple process. Following the prescribed method, the patient’s breath is tested by breathing into a special bag or pouch.
Blood and stool tests: This disease can be diagnosed through blood antibody tests (anti-H. pylori Ig) and stool antigen tests.
