Duodenal Ulcer

A duodenal ulcer is a peptic ulcer that develops in the lining of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, primarily caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It presents with characteristic dull or burning pain in the upper abdomen, typically occurring between meals and relieved by eating or antacids. The condition is part of peptic ulcer disease (PUD), affecting approximately 1% of the global population. Treatment involves acid-suppressing medications and eradication of H. pylori infection over a 4–8 week period. Lifestyle modifications, including avoidance of smoking and alcohol, are key to prevention. Duodenal ulcers result from an imbalance between mucosal defensive factors and aggressive agents such as gastric acid and pepsin, leading to mucosal breakdown and necrosis extending into the submucosa.
