* Stomach ulcers or stomach ulcers are sores that affect the lining of the stomach, and to understand this problem better, it is worth noting that the stomach, in its normal position, produces acids that help digest food, and in return it is lined with a layer of mucous membrane that protects it.  Of its acids, so that these acids do not harm the health of the stomach, and accordingly, any imbalance that disrupts this balance between stomach acids and the layer lining them causes an increase in stomach acid and a decline in the mucous layer,

  * Over time, the acid eats the remainder of the mucous layer, and this may cause stomach ulcers, and these sores may be painful or may bleed from them at times, and the sores that form are what are known medically as stomach ulcers, and the truth of these sores varies.  In size and length, some of them are very small, including about 2.5 centimeters in length, and the fact that stomach ulcers are due to two main reasons, namely, the stomach germ known as H. pylori, and taking medicines that belong to the group of anti-inflammatories.  Non-steroidal (in English: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs),

  * As for spicy and spiced foods, it really does not cause stomach ulcers, but it does make its symptoms worse.

  * Symptoms of stomach ulcers Most cases of stomach ulcers are not accompanied by any symptoms or signs, which explains that many cases of stomach ulcers are not detected unless they develop complications such as bleeding in them. It is also worth noting that the symptoms of stomach ulcers may differ with  Time, and it may be difficult to attribute the symptoms that appear to the patient to their infection,

  * As for cases in which symptoms appear, the symptoms are usually as follows: Abdominal pain: The feeling of pain or burning in the upper part of the abdomen is the most common symptom that sufferers of stomach ulcers suffer, and this pain may extend up to the top of the stomach to reach the part  The upper part of the body is like the neck, or it can even extend below its original position to the umbilical cord, and it may be accompanied by a feeling of pain in the back,

  * In fact, this pain usually appears within a few hours of eating, and it may last from a few minutes to several hours, and the pain may be so severe that it wakes up the victim from his sleep, although this pain may subside if the medicines for indigestion are taken as antagonists  Acidity (in English: Antacids), but it will soon return as long as the stomach ulcer problem is not addressed at its root

  * It is also worth noting that this pain increases in intensity if stomach acid is at its peak, as is the case when the stomach is empty, and the pain can be relieved by eating some types of foods that neutralize stomach acid and reduce its burden.  Indigestion (in English: Indigestion or Dyspepsia) and heartburn (in English: heartburn), the fact that indigestion has been shown to be one of the symptoms that have been closely related to stomach ulcers, however it should be mentioned that not all cases of stomach ulcers cause indigestion,

  * Which can be defined as a condition that is the feeling of discomfort or pain in the stomach area, that is, in the upper part of the abdomen, and both indigestion may be confused with what is known as heartburn, bearing in mind that heartburn may also occur in the event of indigestion  And to understand the difference between them;  In short, it can be said that the main difference is that heartburn causes a reflux of stomach acid to the part above it, and not in the stomach itself, just as it is the case in people with gastroesophageal reflux disease.

  A feeling of fatigue, fatigue or illness.  Weight loss.  Belching and bloating after eating high-fat foods in some cases of stomach ulcers.

  * It is worth seeing a doctor if a person suspects that he has a stomach ulcer, especially if he suffers from any stomach-related symptoms for more than a few days or if the symptoms persist from time to time, and it is worth seeing a doctor immediately if any of the complications of an ulcer occur.  Stomach, such as bleeding or perforation of the stomach, and bleeding is inferred by symptoms of anemia, such as feeling tired, general fatigue, and shortness of breath, and it may be inferred in severe cases of vomiting blood or the appearance of black stool, and such cases require immediate medical intervention;  As such symptoms may indicate serious internal bleeding,

  * Likewise, stomach perforation requires immediate medical intervention, and this situation can be inferred by the sufferer feeling sudden severe pain in the abdomen that worsens over time, and it is worth medical intervention immediately to avoid any complications such as infection of the stomach wall, and in any case it is worth seeking help  In the event that any of the symptoms of stomach ulcers persist, it is also worth seeing a doctor in the event that the patient suffers from fainting, as well as in the event that he experiences difficulty in the process of breathing,
