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.
A peptic ulcer is a sore in the inner lining of the stomach or upper small intestine . Ulcers form when the intestine or stomach's protective layer is broken down. When this happens, digestive juices-which contain hydrochloric acid and an enzyme called pepsin-can damage the intestine or stomach tissue. Treatment cures most ulcers. And symptoms usually go away quickly. Peptic ulcers that form in the stomach are called gastric ulcers. Those that form in the upper small intestine are called duodenal (say doo-uh-DEE-nul or doo-AW-duh-nul) ulcers.
