    Peptic ulcer disease can be caused by predisposing factors like age, gender, stress, and lifestyle as well as precipitating factors such as irritating foods and beverages. Common symptoms include a dull or burning pain in the midsection, discomfort, nausea, and potential bleeding. The pathophysiology involves damage to the mucosal barrier protecting the stomach and duodenum from acid, resulting in erosion, ulceration, and insufficient mucus secretion.
