Peptic Ulcer Disease
Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is a condition that affects the lining of the stomach and small intestine. It is caused by a bacterial infection or the overuse of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Symptoms of PUD include abdominal pain or discomfort, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting. Treatment for PUD may include antibiotics, lifestyle changes, and medications to reduce stomach acid. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the severity of symptoms and prevent further complications, such as bleeding or perforation of the stomach or intestines.
