Description:

The term "duodenum" just describes the portion of your small intestine that joins your stomach to the rest of your small bowels. That being said even though it is tiny—about 25 centimeters—in your alimentary canal which is between 6 and 9 meters long duodenal ulcers fall under the category of peptic ulcer diseases (PUD) frequently coexisting with gastric ulcers. About 4 million people worldwide are thought to be afflicted with peptic ulcer disease.

Cause:

Duodenal ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, a helix-shaped bacteria in the stomach that can cause gastritis and ulcers in developing countries Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and Ibuprofen increase mucosa irritation. Other factors like Stress, Diet, Smoking, chemotherapy, and Crohn's disease also contribute to ulcer development.

Symptom:

A few hours after eating duodenal ulcers can cause abdominal pain. Pain usually goes away when the effects of acid-reducing foods or medications wear off, but the pain usually comes back. When the stomach is empty, such as after meals at night or first thing in the morning, duodenal ulcer-related abdominal pain may be more severe. Other common peptic ulcer symptoms include: Indigestion or heartburn, feeling full even when the stomach is empty, bloating, gas , nausea Some people who have these ulcers develop food intolerances. These foods can make a person feel sick or aggravate ulcer-related symptoms.
