Peptic ulcers are a fairly common health problem. There are three types of peptic ulcers: 1  gastric ulcers: ulcers that develop inside the stomach. 2  esophageal ulcers: ulcers that develop inside the esophagus.  duodenal ulcers: ulcers that develop in the upper section of the small intestines, called the duodenum.
H. pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium found in the stomach, which (along with acid secretion) damages stomach and duodenal tissue, causing inflammation and peptic ulcers. Approximately 30 to 40 percent of the U.S. population is thought to have H. pylori, but fortunately, most people don't develop ulcers.
