Peptic Ulcers Introduction
A peptic ulcer is a sore that forms when there is a break in the inner lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). The development of a peptic ulcer involves the interplay of damaging forces, such as stomach acid and digestive enzymes, with protective forces that include the stomach's blood supply, mucus, and bicarbonates. When there is an imbalance between these forces, with an increase in damaging forces or a decrease in protective forces, it can lead to the formation of an ulcer in the stomach or duodenum.
