Peptic ULCER Disease: What is wrong with gastric acid secretion or pepsin

❤️ Support us - transfer to a VISA card 4355053921990398 (ARMEN ASTVATSATRYAN) via A peptic ulcer is an erosion in a segment of the gastrointestinal mucosa, typically in the stomach (gastric ulcer) or the first few centimeters of the duodenum (duodenal ulcer), that penetrates through the muscularis mucosae. Nearly all ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use. Symptoms typically include burning epigastric pain that is often relieved by food. Diagnosis is by endoscopy and testing for Helicobacter pylori. Treatment involves acid suppression, eradication of H. pylori (if present), and avoidance of NSAIDs. #pepticulcer #gastritis #lecture Professor Armen Astvatsatryan, MD, PhD, ScD, FESC.
