I went to the doctor just now and he said that i have peptic ulcer type II. 
. what is peptic ulcer? it is also know as PUD (peptic ulcer disease) is an ulcer of an area of the gastrointestinal tract that is usually acidic and thus extremely painful.
Types of peptic ulcers:
Type I: Ulcer along the lesser curve of stomach
Type II: Two ulcers present - one gastric, one duodenal
Type III: Prepyloric ulcer
Type IV: Proximal gastroesophageal ulcer
Type V: Anywhere
Treatment :
Younger patients with ulcer-like symptoms are often treated withantacids or H2 antagonistsbefore EGD is undertaken.Bismuth compounds may actually reduce or even clear organisms, though it should be noted that the warning labels of some bismuth subsalicylate products indicate that the product should not be used by someone with an ulcer.
Patients who are takingnonsteroidal anti-inflammatories(NSAIDs) may also be prescribed a prostaglandinanalogue (Misoprostol) in order to help prevent peptic ulcers, which may be aside-effect of the NSAIDs.
Perforated peptic ulcer is a surgical emergency and requires surgical repair of the perforation. Most bleeding ulcers require endoscopy urgently to stop bleeding with cautery, injection, or clipping.
