Gastric Ulcer
A gastric ulcer is a sore or open lesion that forms in the inner lining of the stomach, when the mucosa's defenses weaken against digestive acid.
Common symptoms: It usually presents with burning or pain in the upper abdomen, a feeling of fullness, nausea, or discomfort that changes with meals.
Common causes: Among the associated factors are certain stomach infections and the prolonged use of anti-inflammatory drugs, in addition to stress and smoking as aggravating factors.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the one who studies and follows up on this condition; at times the endoscopist or the general surgeon takes part, and in children the pediatric gastroenterologist. If you notice persistent stomach discomfort, it's advisable to discuss it with a digestive health professional.
