Peptic Ulcer is a mucosal erosion occurring in the stomach (gastric ulcer) or the first part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcer). It results from an imbalance between gastric acid secretion and the protective lining of the digestive tract. Common causes include Helicobacter pylori infection, excessive NSAID use, stress, smoking, alcohol, and hyperacidity. Symptoms include burning epigastric pain, sour belching, nausea, vomiting, bloating, early satiety, and weight changes. Pain may worsen or improve with food depending on ulcer location. Complications like bleeding, perforation, and obstruction can occur if untreated, making early evaluation essential.

Homoeopathy aims to treat peptic ulcers by reducing hyperacidity, healing mucosal inflammation, improving digestion, and addressing stress or emotional triggers that worsen symptoms. Remedies are selected based on the character of pain, food modalities, timing, digestive symptoms, stress response, and general constitution. Well-chosen medicines help regulate acid secretion, soothe the gastric lining, and prevent recurrence.
