| Duodenal
Ulcers - Specific Symptoms
Check out the following symptoms to see if
you have a duodenal ulcer. The signs and symptoms of a duodenal
ulcer are almost opposite to the signs and symptoms of gastric
ulcers - the differences are noticed mainly in the timing
and extent of the pain. This type of peptic ulcer develops
in the first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum.
- Heartburn is a one of
the most noticeable signs of a duodenal ulcer
- You will also feel a burning or gnawing sensation in
the top of your stomach.
- The symptoms of a duodenal ulcer are felt mostly before
a meal. This happens when excess acid produced by hunger
stimulation, is passed into the duodenum.
- Pain will be felt after taking aspirin or drinking orange
juice or coffee.
- Another symptom of a duodenal ulcer is that about 5 in
every 10 people are woken from their sleep during the night
by sharp ulcer pains.
-
With duodenal ulcers, taking a meal
or an antacid usually results in a decrease in pain
levels

Q. What if I am unsure if I have
a duodenal ulcer and decide not to go to a doctor?
A. Rather be safe than sorry when it comes to health issues.
The older you are, the greater the chance that you will be
infected with H. pylori.
Although not everyone who has H. pylori will get an ulcer,
it is a good idea to get rid of this bacteria, just in case
you fall into the majority group who will get ulcers.
The upside with treating duodenal ulcers is that complications
are quite rare. Complications are normally in the form of
bleeding
ulcers caused by the perforation of the intestinal
wall, or an obstruction preventing the passage of food.
The downside is that if complications do occur from leaving
your ulcer untreated, then you may become a candidate for
emergency surgery soon.
Proven
FACTS
-
H.
pylori is responsible for causing 80% to 90% of
all stomach ulcers
-
The
World Health Organization reports that H. pylori
is also present in 50% of all new gastric cancer
cases.
-
Antibiotics
are a primary cause of Candida overgrowth, a secondary
infection commonly found to co-exist in patients
with H. pylori infections

Q. What happens if I choose
to ignore any of the symptoms of a duodenal ulcer?
And what if I also have an H. pylori infection that I am totally
unaware of?
Recent reports show that there is a link between long-term
infection with H. pylori and gastric cancer. The World Health
Organization has reported that 50% of new case of stomach
cancer are linked to H. pylori.
Gastric cancer is listed
as the second most common cancer worldwide. Over half the
population in countries such as India, Colombia and China
are infected with H. pylori in early childhood, and it is
these countries where gastric cancer is most common.
In Western countries, where H. pylori is less common in young
people, gastric cancer rates are much lower. The focus is
more on long term infection. If you are showing any symptoms
of any ulcers there is a 80% - 90% chance that you will be
infected with H. pylori.
If you are infected with H. pylori your risk of developing
gastric cancer is 2 to 6 times greater that those who are
not infected. The longer you leave your condition unchecked
the greater your risk will be of your ulcer getting to an
advanced stage, and the greater the risk of complications
setting in.
