There may be no symptoms of ulcers or the individual may experience: A gnawing or burning pain in the abdomen between the breastbone and the navel. The pain is usually worse a couple of hours after a meal or in the middle of the night when the stomach is empty.


Treatment of Peptic ulcer is required when the patients suffer from severe symptoms. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, loss of weight, tiredness, weakness, blood in vomit or stool. When blood is in the stool, it appears tarry or black (symptom of a bleeding ulcer). Following surgery may be required and the surgeon decides which surgery to be done for the treatment of Peptic ulcer. Vagotomy: In this surgery the vagus nerve, which transmits messages from the brain to the stomach, is cut. Interrupting these messages reduces acid secretion. However, there can be side effects such as severe persistent abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrhea. The surgery may also interfere with stomach emptying. The newest variation of this surgery involves cutting the only parts of the nerve that control the acid-secreting cells of the stomach. This avoids the parts of the nerve that influence stomach emptying. Antrectomy: In this surgery, the lower part of the stomach (antrum) is removed to treat Peptic ulcer. This section of the stomach produces a hormone that stimulates the stomach to secrete digestive juices. Sometimes a surgeon may also remove an adjacent part of the stomach that secretes pepsin and acid. A vagotomy is usually done in conjunction with an antrectom. Pyloroplasty: This surgery enlarges the opening to the duodenum and small intestine (pylorus), which enables stomach contents to pass more freely out of the stomach. A vagotomy may also be performed along with a pyloroplasty.
