What are the causes of gastric pain?
A gastric ulcer develops when stomach acids and digestive juices injure the stomach's lining of protective mucus. Gastric ulcers most commonly are caused by the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen. Aspirin is the NSAID most likely to cause ulcers. The widespread use of NSAIDs may be why the incidence of gastric ulcers in the United States is rising. Gastric ulcers may also develop from the presence of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), decreased resistance of the lining of the stomach to gastric acids, increased production of gastric acids and infection, certain types of medication, and disorders that cause over secretion of stomach juices. Ulcer can also be caused by the use of tobacco, alcohol and caffeine. It is the cause by the over-secretion of stomach juices.
