Peptic ulcer disease (PUD), also known as a peptic ulcer or stomach ulcer, is a break in the lining of the stomach, first part of the small intestine, or occasionally the lower esophagus.n ulcer in the stomach is known as a gastric ulcer while that in the first part of the intestines is known as a duodenal ulcer. The most common symptoms are waking at night with upper abdominal pain or upper abdominal pain that improves with eating. The pain is often described as a burning or dull ache.
When a peptic ulcer affects the stomach it is called a gastric ulcer, one in the duodenum is called a duodenal ulcer, while an esophageal ulcer is an ulcer in the esophagus. When the lining of these organs is corroded by acidic digestive juices secreted by stomach cells peptic ulcers can form. Scarring may also cause vomiting and weight loss. 2  Pyloric stenosis-chronic inflammation in the lining of the stomach or duodenum caused by a peptic ulcer can result in a narrowing of the pylorus (small passage that links the stomach and the duodenum). 3  Pyloric stenosis is the narrowing of the pylorus.
