10 H Pylori Symptoms
Symptom #7: Peptic Ulcers
While some individuals may not have any symptoms from H. pylori infection, others suffer from peptic ulcer disease (PUD). PUD occurs when there is a break in the lining of the stomach (gastric ulcer) or first part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcer).
Individuals with PUD experience upper abdominal pain that can be described as a dull ache or a burning sensation. Other associated symptoms include belching, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Severe cases of PUD can lead to bleeding and perforation of the stomach.
