Abstract
Gastric ulcer, also known as a peptic ulcer, is a prevalent gastrointestinal condition worldwide. It is characterized by the formation of open sores or ulcers on the lining of the stomach. Gastric ulcers can be caused by various factors, including infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, long-term use of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), excessive alcohol consumption and stress. Globally, the prevalence of gastric ulcers varies across different regions and populations. According to the World Gastroenterology Organization, peptic ulcer disease affects approximately 10% of the world's population at some point in their lives. The incidence and prevalence of gastric ulcers have shown some variations in different countries and regions.
