These symptoms are most evident when the stomach is empty, i.e., early in the morning or
late at night.

A few factors are known to cause stomach ulcers, while a few other factors are known to
increase the risk of developing them. A brief overview of the causes and risk factors for peptic
ulcers is given below.

Causes And Risk Factors

Stomach ulcers are most often caused due to:

• A bacterial infection caused by Helicobacter pylori.

• Long-term use of anti-inflammatory medications, like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen.
• A medical condition called Zollinger-Ellison syndrome that increases the production of
body acids.

The risk factors for stomach ulcers are:

• Age above 50 years

• A history of ulcers
• Smoking
• Drinking alcohol
• Stress
• A diet that consists of spicy foods

It is highly recommended to begin treatment as soon as you observe the onset of stomach
ulcers. If left untreated, they may cause internal bleeding and become life-threatening. While
mild to moderate ulcers may be healed with the remedies given here, severe cases need
medical attention.

Expert’s Answers For Readers’ Questions

How to diagnose a stomach ulcer?

Your doctor may first review your medical history as well as your symptoms and any prior
medications you were taking. Then, you may be asked to take a blood, stool, or urine test for
diagnosing stomach ulcers. This may also be followed by an endoscopy to look for ulcers in
your stomach using an endoscope.

Can you die from a stomach ulcer?

In some cases, peptic ulcers may cause gastrointestinal bleeding. If this bleeding is sudden and
serious, it may lead to imminent death.

How long does it take for a stomach ulcer to heal?

If your ulcers are a result of H. pylori infection, it may take anywhere from two to three weeks
to heal. However, you may need to follow the prescribed treatment for at least eight weeks.
