What are Duodenal Ulcers?

Duodenal ulcers are sores that develop in the lining of the first part of your small intestine, called the duodenum. Similar to gastric ulcers, these sores occur when the protective lining of the duodenum weakens, allowing digestive juices to irritate and erode the tissue.

What are Duodenal Ulcers?

Causes of Duodenal Ulcers

The two main culprits behind duodenal ulcers are the same as for gastric ulcers:

  • H. pylori infection: This bacteria can live in the lining of the small intestine and contribute to ulcer formation.
  • Long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): These medications can irritate the lining of the duodenum and stomach, increasing the risk of ulcers.

Other factors that can contribute to duodenal ulcers include:

  • Stress
  • Smoking
  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Certain foods and beverages (spicy foods, acidic fruits, caffeine)
