Peptic ulcer disease
Peptic ulcer disease is a general term for gastric ulcer (GU) and duodenal ulcer (DU), and is named because ulcer formation is related to the digestive action of gastric acid/pepsin. It is a common chronic disease that is difficult to treat. It often occurs in young and middle-aged people. The main symptom of ulcer disease is upper abdominal pain, which may be asymptomatic or latent. This pain is related to diet and is often induced by hunger, medication, acidic food or beverages. The pain can be relieved by eating, drinking water, and taking alkaline foods.
