Dr. Jennifer Ashton, ABC News' chief medical correspondent and a board-certified OB-GYN, explained that peptic ulcer disease is the medical term for ulcers, which are small sores on the lining of the stomach.. "They can be tiny or they can be very large and significant, either in the body of the stomach or the duodenum, in the upper part of the small intestine."
Peptic ulcers can be caused by a bacterial infection or consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen. Lifestyle factors like smoking and drinking alcohol can increase risks of developing ulcers, according to the NIDDK.
