Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The most common cause of ulcers is infection of the stomach by bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H pylori). Most people with peptic ulcers have these bacteria living in their digestive tract. Yet, many people who have these bacteria in their stomach do not develop an ulcer.
Detailed explanation-2: -A peptic ulcer is an open sore or raw area in the lining of the stomach (gastric) or the upper part of the small intestine (duodenal). A major cause of peptic ulcer, although far less common than H. pylori or NSAIDS, is Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
