Peptic Ulcer
Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inside lining of your stomach and the upper portion of your small intestine. The most common symptom of a peptic ulcer is stomach pain. Get the best peptic ulcer treatment in Mahabubnagar from Dr. Vivek Sagar Pallepagu.
There are three types of peptic ulcers:
- Ggastric ulcers: ulcers that develop inside the stomach
- Esophageal ulcers: ulcers that develop inside the esophagus
- Duodenal ulcers: ulcers that develop in the upper section of the small intestines, called the duodenum
Some people with ulcers don’t experience any symptoms. But signs of an ulcer can include:
- Gnawing or burning pain in your middle or upper stomach between meals or at night.
- Pain that temporarily disappears if you eat something or take an antacid.
- Bloating
- Heartburn
- Nausea or vomiting
In severe cases, symptoms can include:
- Dark or black stool (due to bleeding).
- Vomiting.
- Weight loss.
- Severe pain in your mid- to upper abdomen.
See the best doctors for peptic ulcer in Wanaparthy if you have the above symptoms. The risk of complications increases if the ulcer is left untreated, or if treatment is not completed. Complications can include:
- Internal bleeding
- Hemodynamic instability, a result of internal bleeding which can affect multiple organs and be a serious complication.
- Peritonitis, in which the ulcer bores a hole through the wall of the stomach or small intestine.
- Scar tissue.
- Pyloric stenosis, a chronic inflammation in the lining of the stomach or duodenum.
The type of treatment usually depends on what caused the peptic ulcer. Best treatment for gastric problems in Wanaparthy will focus on either lowering stomach acid levels so that the ulcer can heal, or eradicating the H. pylori infection.
