What are duodenal ulcers?
Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop in the lining of the stomach or in the oesophagus. Duodenal ulcers occur in the upper part of the stomach or in the duodenum.
Anatomy - As the food passes down from the oesophagus into the stomach, inessential acids are secreted in the stomach to aid the digestion of food. Once done, it is passed into the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum. Enzymes are formed here to mix with the food secreted by the pancreas and the lining of the intestine. The enzymes assist in the digestion of food, which is then absorbed into the body.
When the lining of the duodenum is eroded, it results in the formation of a peptic ulcer causing abdominal pain, bleeding and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Stomach infections due to the H.pylori (Helicobacter pylori) are one of the most common causes of duodenal ulcer.
