What Is a Peptic Ulcer?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Aches and pains in the abdomen area are fairly common, and they will usually pass harmlessly within a day or two. Most of the time they are down to us having eaten something that does not agree with us, and the symptoms will pass once the problem has been dealt with.
If you are experiencing symptoms on a more permanent basis, however, then it is a sign that there might be a problem. There are many potential reasons for it, one of which is a peptic ulcer. These are basically open sores in the digestive system, and they can range from being mild, to being serious.
