Symptom of peptic ulcer:
- Abdominal pain
- Burning sensation in stomach when hungry
- Vomiting with blood
If a peptic ulcer is not treated it can lead to a perforation of the lining of the stomach which requires emergency surgery to repair.
In modern medicine, the peptic ulcer is treated with acid neutralizing drugs. The bacteria Helicobacter pylon is also a leading cause of this disease which can be treated with antibiotics. |
