Peru can be visited all year round, and the country experiences two main seasons. The dry season between May and October sees sunny days, bright blue skies in the Andes and chilly nights. It is a wonderful time to be in Peru; but being the peak season, early booking is crucial. Between November and March visitors will notice more rain, with January and February being the wettest months to visit.
Severe pain and discomfort are the earliest symptoms. Stomach acid is allowed to continuously erode into underlying blood vessels if the ulcer is left untreated, which can cause bleeding that seeps into the digestive tract. The result: a bleeding ulcer that is a serious health threat requiring immediate treatment.
Causes of a Bleeding Ulcer. An ulcer occurs when part of the lining of the stomach or intestines becomes deeply eroded. Most people who have an ulcer likely developed it from an infection by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori. Ulcers can also be caused by regular usage of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. Ulcers range in size from quite small to an inch or more, but they can cause tremendous discomfort. Most gastrointestinal bleeding comes from ulcers. Medication and lifestyle habits can cause an ulcer to bleed.
