Ulcer of intestine - what does this mean

Ulcer of the intestine is a condition in which ulcers form on the inner lining of the intestine, typically caused by an imbalance of stomach acid and digestive enzymes, leading to inflammation and irritation of the intestinal mucosa. it is often associated with other gastrointestinal disorders such as crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and celiac disease.

What happens during the disease - ulcer of intestine

The primary cause of ulcer of the intestine is believed to be a combination of bacterial infection, particularly helicobacter pylori, and an imbalance of digestive juices in the stomach and intestines. this imbalance can be caused by stress, certain medications, and other factors that can weaken the protective mucous coating of the digestive tract, allowing the bacteria to penetrate the lining of the stomach and intestines and cause inflammation and ulceration.
