The duodenum is a short portion of the small intestine connecting it to the stomach. It is about 10 inches (25 cm) long, while the entire small intestine measures about 20 feet (6.5 meters).
A duodenal ulcer is a type of peptic ulcer that occurs in the duodenum, the beginning of the small intestine. Peptic ulcers are eroded areas in the lining of stomach and duodenum, which result in abdominal pain, possible bleeding, and other gastrointestinal symptoms. duodenal ulcer is a type of peptic ulcer that occurs in the duodenum, the beginning of the small intestine.
