Stomach ulcers are caused due to damage to the lining of the stomach. This damage exposes the underlying tissue of the stomach to the acids in the stomach. This can cause further damage. Damage to the stomach lining will cause pain in the abdomen. This pain is more towards the upper part pf the abdomen in the middle. The pain will characteristically increase when the individual is hungry and can decrease upon eating. The pain may be relieved by drinking cold milk or yogurt. Before reaching this stage, the patient may have suffered from “acidity” and “gas in the stomach”. These present with a sense of burning in the stomach, sour burping, and a feeling of bloating. If left untreated a stomach ulcer can increase in size and sometimes also cause perforation of the stomach.
