Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is defined as a mucosal break larger than 3 mm in depth in the stomach or duodenum. The two major causes of PUD are Helicobacter pylori infection and NSAID usage. Less common causes are severe physiological stress (e.g., severe illness, burns, or surgery) or hypersecretorystates (e.g. Zollinger Ellison syndrome). Contributing factors include smoking, ethanol, bile acids, aspirin, corticosteroids, and stress. Symptoms of peptic ulcer disease include epigastric discomfort (specifically, pain relieved by food intake or antacids and pain that causes awakening at night or that occurs between meals), loss of appetite and weight loss/weight gain, nausea and vomiting melena. The most common causes of peptic ulcer are infection with bactrerium helicopter pylori [Pylori)] and long term use of non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as libuprofen (Advil., Martin IB others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve). Stress and spicy foods do not cause peptic ulcers Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is an uncommon disease of childhood.
