A peptic ulcer is a sore that develops on the inner surface of your stomach or area of your small intestine called the duodenum.<ref name="rf1">http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/peptic-ulcer/home/ovc-20231363</ref> Peptic ulcers usually cause pain when you eat, or several hours after you eat. Ulcers are not caused by stress. They are usually caused by bacteria called ''Helicobacter pylori'' (H. pylori), or the overuse of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen. Treating peptic ulcers with medications can help minimize pain and avoid medical complications like bleeding, scar tissue, and infection. | A peptic ulcer is a sore that develops on the inner surface of your stomach or area of your small intestine called the duodenum.<ref name="rf1">http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/peptic-ulcer/home/ovc-20231363</ref> Peptic ulcers usually cause pain when you eat, or several hours after you eat.
