A gastric ulcer is a 1/2-2 inch area on the lining of the inside of your stomach that has been worn away through some sort of contact of acid. Gastric ulcers are sometimes called stomach ulcers or peptic ulcers, though peptic ulcers can also refer to duodunal ulcers. Gastric ulcers are common among the Helicobacter pylori infection, an infection of the pyloric sphincter (the valve connecting the stomach and the upper small intestine). Treatment can be medications such as over-the-counter antacid pills, or your physician can prescribe stronger medications. Three ways to prevent gastric ulcers are to wash your hands before and after eating and going to the bathroom, not smoking, and not over-drinking.
