From the article: Symptoms of Peptic Ulcers
Peptic ulcers form when the protective lining of the stomach or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) becomes eroded. These ulcers can cause a variety of symptoms, which can vary from patient to patient. Some patients with ulcers have minimal, unusual, or even no symptoms at all. Others may have every symptom. When did you first suspect you may have a peptic ulcer? What symptoms prompted you to go to your doctor about it? Share your experiences with other. Sharing your symptoms could prompt someone else with similar symptoms to see a doctor when they might not otherwise. Share With Others
