A stomach ulcer is lesion that forms in the lining of the stomach or duodenum where acid and pepsin are present. During normal digestion, food moves from the mouth down the esophagus into the stomach. The stomach produces hydrochloric acid and an enzyme called pepsin to digest the food. Ulcers in the stomach are called gastric or stomach ulcers and those in the duodenum called duodenal ulcers. The most common type is duodenal and occurs in the first 12 inches of small intestine beyond the stomach. Duodenal ulcers are almost always benign, while stomach ulcers may become malignant. As many as 70-90% of ulcers are associated with Helicobacter Pylori A bacteria that lives in the acidic environment of the stomach. Learn More
