Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)

Peptic ulcers are breaks that extend through the mucosa, typically occurring in the stomach or in the duodenum. The two primary causes of peptic ulcers are infection with a bacteria known as Helicobacter pylori or the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen.  Smoking has also been associated with increased risk of PUD. Stress and diet were initially thought to predispose to PUD, but now are recognized to be of little or no risk.
