A peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of the stomach, duodenum, or esophagus that is most often caused by either the germ Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) or the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen.

Symptoms of Peptic Ulcers Include Pain That:

  • Briefly stops if you eat or take antacids
  • Comes and goes for several days or weeks
  • Lasts for minutes to hours
  • Starts between meals or during the night

Other Symptoms May Include:

  • Bloating
  • Burping
  • Feeling sick to your stomach
  • Poor appetite
  • Vomiting

If the cause of your ulcer is the H.pylori germ, your treatment may include antibiotics.

If your ulcer is caused by NSAIDS, you and your physician will decide on a treatment plan.
