برینی گەدە
Sores in the protective lining of the stomach or the beginning of the small intestine.
A peptic ulcer happens when the protective lining weakens against stomach acid. A common cause is a bacterium known as Helicobacter, or heavy use of painkillers. The symptom is pain and burning in the upper abdomen, especially when hungry. If there is vomiting of blood or black stool, go to emergency care immediately.
