An ulcer in the stomach.
Erosion or open sore of the lining of the stomach that may penetrate the muscle layers and wall of the stomach. Symptoms include burning pain, belching, and nausea; they tend to occur when the stomach is empty, after certain foods have been eaten, or when the patient is under stress. Treatment includes avoidances of irritating foods, and drugs to decrease the acidity of the stomach. If the ulcer perforates the stomach wall and hemorrhage occurs, surgery is usually needed.
A sore or wound in the mucous membrane lining the stomach. Gastric or stomach ulcers are a form of peptic ulcer disease. Gastric ulcers can develop anywhere in the stomach, but are most often located on the stomach’s lesser curve or in the lower half of the stomach. The most common symptom of a gastric ulcer is upper abdominal pain that tends to be intermittent, burning, and gnawing and occurs a half hour to 2 hours after meals.
An ulcer in the stomach, caused by the action of acid, pepsin, and bile on the stomach lining (mucosa). The output of stomach acid is not usually increased. Symptoms include vomiting and pain in the upper abdomen soon after eating, and such complications as bleeding, perforation, and obstruction due to scarring may occur. Symptoms are relieved by antacid medicines, but surgery may be required if the ulcer persists. Since stomach cancer may mimic a gastric ulcer, all gastric ulcers should be examined by a gastroscope to aid in their differentiation.
A lesion that manifests within the stomach, duodenum, or any other segment of the gastrointestinal tract is commonly referred to as a peptic ulcer. This particular affliction disrupts the integrity of the delicate lining, giving rise to an ulcerative condition.
