What are the differences between gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers?

Gastric ulcers, also known as stomach ulcers, are open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach. These painful lesions occur when the protective mucus layer of the stomach is compromised, allowing digestive acids to erode the underlying tissues. Once believed to be caused primarily by stress and diet, we now know that the majority of gastric ulcers result from Helicobacter pylori bacterial infection or long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). While less common than duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers can cause significant discomfort and, if left untreated, lead to serious complications.

Causes for gastric ulcer

👉🏻Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection:

A bacteria that infects the stomach lining

Weakens the mucus barrier protecting the stomach

Increases acid production

Responsible for about 70-80% of gastric ulcers

👉🏻Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs):

Including aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen

Long-term or high-dose use can damage the stomach lining

Impairs the stomach’s ability to protect itself from acid

Accounts for most non-H. pylori ulcers

Less common causes include:

👉🏻Zollinger-Ellison syndrome:

A rare condition causing excessive stomach acid production

👉🏻Stress:

Severe physiological stress, as in critically ill patients

Not to be confused with psychological stress

👉🏻Excessive alcohol consumption

Radiation therapy to the stomach area

👉🏻Cocaine use

It’s important to note that spicy foods and psychological stress do not cause ulcers, though they may exacerbate symptoms in some people.

Duodenal ulcers are a common type of peptic ulcer that occurs in the first part of the small intestine, known as the duodenum. These also develop like gastric ulcer, when the protective mucus layer of the duodenum is compromised, allowing digestive acids to erode the underlying tissues. Duodenal ulcer are also contrary to popular belief, stress and diet are not the primary causes of duodenal ulcers. Instead, the majority of cases result from Helicobacter pylori bacterial infection or long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Duodenal ulcers are more prevalent than gastric ulcers and can cause significant discomfort, potentially leading to serious complications if left untreated. 

Similar causes of gastric are also responsible for the development of duodenal ulcers.

Let’s see the symptoms of an ulcer

Gastric (Stomach) Ulcers:

▶️Pain location: Upper abdomen

▶️Timing of pain: Often occurs soon after eating

▶️Effect of food: Pain typically worsens with eating

▶️Weight changes: May cause weight loss

▶️Appetite: Often decreased

Duodenal Ulcers:

▶️Pain Location: Upper abdomen, sometimes radiating to the back

▶️Timing of pain: Often occurs 2-3 hours after eating or at night

▶️Effect of food: Pain often temporarily improves with eating

▶️Weight changes: Usually no significant weight loss

▶️Appetite: Often increased (as eating relieves pain)

Common symptoms for both:

▶️Burning or gnawing abdominal pain

▶️Nausea and vomiting

▶️Bloating

▶️Feeling of fullness

▶️Belching

Serious symptoms for both (indicating complications):

▶️Dark, tarry stools (melena)

Vomiting blood or coffee-ground-like material

▶️Severe, sharp abdominal pain

The main distinguishing factors are the timing of pain about eating and the effect of food on pain. However, these differences are not absolute, and proper medical diagnosis is essential.
