Peptic ulcers are ulcers that form in the stomach or the upper part of the small intestine, called the duodenum.
No, the duodenum is the point at which the stomach meets the small intestine. It is a well-known site for the formation of ulcers.
Peptic ulcers can develop in the lower part of the esophagus, the stomach, the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum), and the second part of the small intestine (the jejunum).
In the stomach (followed by the duodenum and esophagus). However, small ulcers of the mouth are more common than most people think, and ulcers of the skin occur too often in the elderly and infirm.
Stomach! Also, the duodenum, and the esophagus, too.
The purpose of the procedure is to disable the acid-producing capacity of the stomach. It is used when ulcers in the stomach and duodenum do not respond to medication and changes in diet.
No, duodenal ulcers are rather common. In fact, duodenal ulcers are much more common than gastric (stomach) ulcers, and are commonly found in a condition called peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
no.Stomach ulcer is the result of acid from the stomach entering the duodenum. This is usually caused by the microbacteria Helicobacter Pylori. Stress can increase the likelyhood of a stomach ulcer.
False
The likely word is ulcers (mucosal lesions, as in the stomach or mouth).
The lower half of the stomach makes most of the acid and gets all the peptic ulcers above the duodenum. Removing it leaves little place for ulcers to form and little acid to produce them.
Duodenal ulcers.
