What are the issues related to gastric problems and peptic ulcers?
Gastric problems can range from indigestion, bloating, and nausea to peptic ulcers, which are painful sores in the stomach or intestinal lining. They are often caused by excess stomach acid, infection with H. pylori, or long-term use of painkillers. Untreated ulcers may lead to serious complications such as bleeding or a perforation in the stomach wall. If you experience persistent stomach pain, unexplained weight loss, or vomiting blood, see your doctor urgently for diagnosis and treatment.
