A gastric ulcer, also called a stomach ulcer, is a raw, eroded area in the lining of the stomach.
Gastric ulcers occur in people who take anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen, drink alcohol, smoke tobacco, have a high caffeine intake and often feel stressed.
A gastric ulcer develops when stomach acids and digestive juices injure the stomach’s lining of protective mucus. Gastric ulcers can also develop when there is the presence of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, decreased resistance of the lining of the stomach to gastric acids, increased production of gastric acids and infection, certain types of medication, and disorders that cause over secretion of stomach juices.
The symptoms of gastric ulcers include indigestion and heartburn in the middle of the upper abdomen, nausea and loss of appetite, weight loss and repeated episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding. About 30% of patients with gastric ulcers are awakened by pain at night. Many patients have periods of chronic ulcer pain alternating with symptom-free periods that last for several weeks or months. The pain may be relieved by eating or taking antacids, and may get worse a couple of hours after or before meals.
If the gastric ulcer is bleeding, the patient may vomit bright red blood or digested blood that looks like brown coffee grounds and have black, tarry bowel movements.
