24
Q

Physiological change

A

An ulcer occurs when there is an erosion of the mucosa with considerable depth and involvement of the submucosa.

25
Q

Type of peptic ulcer

duodenal or jejunal?

A

Duodenal ulcers are a type of peptic ulcer. They are chronic in nature and make up about 80% of peptic ulcers, affecting the proximal part of the small intestine. They are characterized by remissions and exacerbations.

26
Q

Type of peptic ulcer

A

Gastric ulcers are a type of peptic ulcer. They are chronic in nature and make up about 20% of the peptic ulcer cases. They affect the lesser curvature of the stomach, near the pylorus.

27
Q

Common cause of peptic ulcers

28
Q

A

By blocking the Cox-1 enzyme and disrupting the production of prostaglandins in the stomach, NSAIDs increase the risk of ulcers forming in the stomach.

30
Q

Peptic ulcer pain occurs in intervals of weeks or months. During exacerbation, it occurs daily for a period of several weeks and then remits until the next recurrence.

31
Q

Preferred procedure for diagnosis

Upper GI Endoscopy

Q

Recommended dietary change
Small Frequent Meals

Large Meal At Mid-Day
