By JH Sayyar

Peptic ulcer is common all over the world in males and females. It is considered very dangerous due to stomach problem the most important element of human body that digests the whole foods.

Peptic ulcer or stomach ulcer both are the same thing. Peptic ulcer means: stomach acidity burns the stomach layer and makes a hole in the layer with the force of increasing acidity. Gastric acidity attacks either stomach or duodenum. The first is called gastric ulcer and the second is called duodenum ulcer. Gastric is found in stomach and duodenum ulcer is found in duodenum, in the beginning of small intestines. Both are called peptic ulcer.


Human stomach is found on the left side of the upper abdomen and it is a muscular organ. Human stomach receives food from esophagus and via esophagus the food enters into the stomach. Entering the food into stomach the stomach starts releasing acids and enzymes to digest food. At the same time our stomach starts the act of expanding and contracting to crush food. After crushing the food in a better way and after this the pyloric sphincter opens its gate to pass food from stomach to small intestines. 

The small intestines is a along serpentine tube running from the stomach to the anus. Hard foods are crushed in small intestines with the help of water. The small intestines length is 20 feet and its diameter is one inch. The main function of small intestine is to absorb foods. On the other hand, large intestine is 5 feet long and its diameter is 3 inches. It absorbs water from the waste and creating stool.
