    Study Notes

    Peptic Ulcers

    Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inner lining of the stomach and duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. These ulcers can cause discomfort, pain, and even bleeding. Peptic ulcers have multiple causes, including certain bacteria, medications, and lifestyle factors. Here we delve into the various aspects of peptic ulcers, shedding light on their causes, symptoms, treatments, diagnoses, and preventive measures.

    Causes

    Peptic ulcers often result from a bacterial infection known as Helicobacter pylori. This bacteria has been linked with almost all cases of duodenal ulcers and up to 90% of gastric ulcers. Other causes include prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), smoking, alcohol consumption, stress, and poor diet. In some instances, no clear cause may be identified, suggesting that genetic factors might also play a role.

    Symptoms

    The primary symptom of a peptic ulcer is abdominal pain, often located between the navel and sternum, usually occurring between meals or at night. Burping, bloating, feeling full quickly, heartburn, and weight loss are other common symptoms. Some people experience few or no symptoms, while others suffer from severe abdominal pain.

    Treatment Options

    Once diagnosed, peptic ulcers typically need antibiotic therapy to eliminate H. pylori if it's present. NSAID-induced ulcers require prescription of other pain relievers and acid blockers. In addition, surgical intervention may be required for serious ulcers. Lifestyle changes such as reducing trigger foods and managing stress can help alleviate symptoms and promote healing.

    Prevention

    Preventive measures against peptic ulcers include avoiding H. pylori transmission through good hygiene practices, limiting NSAID use, practicing moderation with alcohol and tobacco, and maintaining a well-balanced diet. Probiotics can potentially reduce the risk of developing ulcers by inhibiting H. pylori growth. As always, regular medical checkups are essential for early detection and intervention.

    Diagnosis

    To confirm a peptic ulcer, doctors perform several tests including blood tests, stool antigen tests, breath tests, endoscopy, and biopsy. Blood tests detect H. pylori antibodies, while stool and breath tests measure H. pylori metabolites. Endoscopy allows visualization of the ulcer, enabling its size and location assessment. A biopsy samples tissue for further examination, providing a definitive diagnosis.
