A gastric ulcer is a painful sore that develops inside the stomach lining. It happens when the protective layer of the stomach gets damaged by excess acid or infection. Many people ignore ulcer symptoms in the beginning, but untreated ulcers can lead to bleeding and severe stomach problems.

  • H. pylori bacterial infection
  • Long-term use of painkiller medicines
  • Excess acid production
  • Smoking and alcohol
  • Stress and unhealthy food habits
