An ulcer most likely occurs in the stomach or the first part of the small intestine, known as the duodenum. These are referred to as gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers, respectively. They develop due to the erosion of the protective lining by stomach acid, often influenced by factors such as infection with Helicobacter pylori or the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
