Peptic Ulcers

Tuesday January 11, 2005
A peptic ulcer is a sore or lesion that forms in the lining of the stomach or duodenum. Ulcers in the stomach are called gastric or stomach ulcers, and those in the duodenum are called duodenal ulcers. Understanding the causes and symptoms of ulcers, and then getting a diagnosis and proper treatment, and knowing the warning signs for ulcers, most people can find relief.
