In the United States, it is estimated that 17.7 million adults have been diagnosed with some type of ulcer. That is about 7.8% of all adults in the United states. That is nearly one in every ten adults! With those numbers in mind, acquiring basic knowledge about the common symptoms of ulcers is essential. The two most common areas where ulcers are found are the stomach (gastric ulcer), and the duodenal region of the small intestine (duodenal ulcer); these two types of ulcers collectively are called peptic ulcers. Dealing with ulcers can be very frustrating if you neglect the signs of your body. The majority of people have usually experienced one of the common symptoms that are linked with peptic ulcer disease. Diagnosing peptic ulcers at an early stage is necessary in order to prevent further development and to prevent more serious complications that can be caused.
Common Symptoms of Peptic Ulcer Disease
Stomach irritability: This is the most common symptom for patients who suffer from peptic ulcers. This is because ulcers are most likely to be located in the stomach or the duodenal region of the small intestine, which is connected to the stomach. This pain is usually most felt when you have an empty stomach.
Water retention: It is very difficult to drink the amount of water your body needs when you have an ulcer. This causes your body to hold on to as much water as it can, which causes bloating.
Loss of appetite: When dealing with duodenal ulcer, discomfort is usually felt one to two hours after eating or drinking. Whereas with gastric ulcer, discomfort comes immediately after eating or drinking.
Heartburn: When you eat food, it travels through your mouth to the esophagus before transferring the globs of food to the stomach. In order for the food to be dropped off into the stomach, the end of the esophagus opens at the same time as the stomach. Normally, the opening closes as soon as the food is transferred, but sometimes acid from the stomach can make its way to the esophagus which ultimately causes heartburn.
Vomiting: This is a method used for your body to rid itself of anything that feels out of the ordinary. For example, if your body detects that there is more acid in the stomach than is needed, the stomach will contract and attempt to expel the excess acid.
Although these are the most common symptoms that correlate with peptic ulcer disease, there are other signals that each individual might experience. In general, living a healthy lifestyle, not smoking or drinking alcohol, and catching the symptoms early will assist in suppressing the effect of ulcers If symptoms persist, be sure to contact your doctor.
