A stomach ulcer (peptic ulcer) is a sore that develops in the stomach lining due to damage to its protective mucosal layer. Common causes include *Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)* infection, excessive use of anti-inflammatory medications, smoking, and weakened stomach protection. Symptoms of Stomach Ulcers: - Burning stomach pain - Heartburn and indigestion - Loss of appetite - Unexplained weight loss Diagnosis: Stomach ulcers are commonly diagnosed through medical evaluation and upper GI endoscopy. Endoscopy helps identify the ulcer, assess its severity, rule out other conditions, and detect H. pylori infection. Treatment: Most stomach ulcers respond well to medications that reduce stomach acid. H. pylori infections require antibiotics. Surgery may be necessary in complicated cases. Complications: Untreated ulcers can cause internal bleeding, stomach outlet obstruction, or perforation. Severe bleeding may require emergency endoscopy or surgery.
