Acid Peptic Disorders
Our stomach produces various acids to aid in the digestion of food. The acid released may have an effect on the mucosal lining of the stomach but it has defences. An imbalance in this arrangement causes the mucosal guards to be weakened or too much acid to be released which damages the lining and causes acid-peptic diseases.
Description:
The conditions that fall under the category of acid peptic disorders include gastric ulcers duodenal ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disorders. Duodenal ulcers develop in the duodenum whereas gastric ulcers form in the stomach's lesser curvature. When food and acid regurgitate into the esophagus GERD develops.
Cause:
Stress overindulging in spicy sour and salty foods, inappropriate eating behaviors Long-term fasting, long-term NSAID use, eating a lot of unhealthy food, Insufficient water intake, infection with Helicobacter pylori bacteria, Overindulging in food, food consumption prior to full digestion of the previous meal are some of the causes that lead to the emergence of acid Peptic disorders
Symptom:
The typical signs and symptoms of acid reflux disease patients are as follows: Severe abdominal pain, burning in the chest and stomach, heartburn, feeling sick, burping, flatulence, and nausea. If bleeding is a chronic problem a dark-colored bowel may cause either pain right after eating (gastric ulcer) or pain during hunger (duodenal ulcer). If the condition is not identified and treated the symptoms will eventually get worse.
