    • WHAT IS AN ULCER

    An ulcer is an open sore or wound that can be appeared on the skin, mucous membrane, or inner lining of an organ. Variety of factors may cause ulcers including infection, inflammation, injury, or a disruption of blood flow to the affected area.

    Types of Ulcer

    There are various forms of ulcers that can develop in various body regions. Some common types of ulcers are as follows.

    • Peptic ulcers: The individual who regularly takes NSAIDs or has the bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) in their stomach. Then the stomach or small intestine develop ulcer.
    • Mouth ulcers: These are small, painful sores on the inside of the mouth/ tongue/lips.
    • Venous ulcers: It occurs because of poor blood flow in the leg veins.
    • Arterial ulcers: It occurs due to decreased blood flow to the legs or feet. Most often it happens due to peripheral artery disease.
    • Pressure ulcers (bedsores): Due to the prolonged pressure on the affected area It occurs on the skin. Mostly it happens when sitting or lying in one position for too long.
    • Neurotrophic ulcers: In diabetic patients nerves gets damage and decreased sensation in the affected area. It mainly affects the legs or feet.

    Different ulcers are treated differently and it depends on their types and severity. If we talk about the digestive system then peptic ulcer is most common ulcer. It develops in the stomach or small intestine. Peptic ulcers are typically caused to those who habitually consumes NSAIDs or carries the stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori).

    Causes of Peptic Ulcer

    Those factors that causes peptic ulcers are as follows.

    • Infection with H. Pylori bacteria: The small intestine or stomach lining might get infected with H. pylori. This accelerated the inflammatory process and the emergence of ulcers.
    • Use of NSAIDs: Those who use NSAIDs for long time, their stomach lining gets irritate and increase the risk of developing ulcers. (Ibuprofen, Aspirin etc).
    • Smoking: Smoking might make peptic ulcer symptoms worse and make it take longer to recover.
    • Excessive alcohol consumption: Drinking too much alcohol can irritate the stomach inner lining.
    • Stress: Although stress does not directly cause ulcers. But it can increase the risk of developing them by increasing stomach acid production and delaying the healing process.
    • Genetics: It's possible that certain people have an increased chance of developing ulcers due to heredity.

    Symptoms of Peptic Ulcer

    Peptic ulcers symptoms are depending on the severity of the illness. The following are some typical signs of peptic ulcers.

    • Abdominal pain: Peptic ulcer patients always complain about pain. They feel burning, gnawing, or aching pain anywhere from the navel to the breastbone.
    • Indigestion: This is a condition when patient feel discomfort or fullness in the upper abdomen after eating. This is also called dyspepsia.
    • Nausea and vomiting: It happens when ulcer is severe or there is an obstruction in the stomach or small intestine.
    • Loss of appetite: Due to the pain and discomfort some people may experience loss of appetite.
    • Weight loss: In some cases unintentional weight loss is noted in peptic ulcers.
    • Bloating and burping: These symptoms can occur as a result of excess gas production in the stomach.
    • Dark, tarry stools: This can be a sign of bleeding in the stomach or small intestine.
    • Vomiting blood or having blood in the stool: These are signs of severe bleeding and require immediate medical attention.

    If you experience any of above mentioned symptoms then you should see your doctor . Because untreated peptic ulcers can lead to serious complications.

    Complications of Untreated Peptic Ulcer

    Untreated peptic ulcers can lead to several serious complications. For instance;

    • Internal bleeding: Internal bleeding can result from a peptic ulcer that has eroded through blood vessels in the duodenum or stomach. This may result feeling weak or dizzy as well as vomiting blood and passing tarry or black stools.
    • Perforation: Untreated peptic ulcer can create a hole in the wall of the stomach or duodenum. Stomach acid and food to leak into the abdominal cavity. This may result in a severe infection. This infection is called peritonitis. It could be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
    • Obstruction: This condition occurs due to the swelling and scarring that a peptic ulcer may bring on in the stomach or duodenum. This causes nausea, vomiting, and excruciating stomach discomfort.
    • Cancer: Long time untreated peptic ulcers can sometimes develop into stomach or duodenal cancer.

    Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent these serious complications.

    Treatment of Peptic Ulcer

    All people with peptic ulcer disease should get H. pylori removed. Most duodenal ulcers are cured with eradication, which also significantly reduces the risk of recurrent bleeding. Anti-secretory non-eradicating medication is less successful than treatment for H. pylori infection. Homeopathy offers a variety of potent treatments that not only eliminate H. Pylori but also aid in preventing peptic ulcer recurrence. This all-encompassing homoeopathic treatment restores the normal balance between aggressive factors and mucosal protection/repair, which ultimately cures the peptic ulcer disease.
