  1. peptic ulceration

    Peptic ulceration refers to a condition characterized by the development of sores or ulcers in the lining of the stomach, upper part of the small intestine, or the lower part of the esophagus. It occurs when the stomach acid damages the digestive tract's innermost layer, causing pain and discomfort. This condition can lead to complications if not treated, such as perforation, bleeding, or blockage in the digestive system. The most common causes include long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).
