Peptic ulcer
Peptic ulcer
A peptic ulcer is a sore or hole in the inner lining of the stomach or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). Excess acid secretion in the stomach is thought to be the main cause; However, smoking, stress and some allopathic medicines can also cause ulcers in some people. Allopathic treatment involves various methods—such as the use of antibiotics to suppress *Helicobacter pylori* (or H. pylori) bacteria (although there is no definitive information on the source of this bacteria), antacids to moderate the effects of acid, and anti-ulcer drugs to reduce acid production. Sometimes these three types of treatment are combined. The following medicines have been found to be effective and helpful in homeopathic treatment:
Gastric ulcers usually occur in the distal lesser curve of the stomach. However, the most common cause of peptic ulcer is chronic ulceration in the first part of the duodenum.
In some cases, the cardiac end of the stomach (where the esophagus joins the stomach) or the lower part of the esophagus may also develop ulcers.
This ulcer is usually large (2-3 cm) and oval in shape. Its upper end (proximal end) has a hanging or outward-sloping edge.
Often its structure is terraced.
The lower end (distal end) slopes down from the bottom of the ulcer.
It is useful when the patient vomits bloody food and suffers from intestinal tuberculosis. Bleeding peptic ulcer-(Aluminium phos.)
: Pain and burning starts 2-3 hours after eating, i.e. when the stomach is empty. Temporary relief is obtained by eating Anacardium orientalis (Anacardium ori.).
: Use Arsenicum alb. (Argentum nit.) for loud belching with symptoms.
Acute burning in the stomach and upper-abdominal (epigastric) region; This problem is aggravated at night and after eating and drinking—Arsenicum album .
Chronic peptic ulcer, with pain and pressure — Graphites.
: Round ulcer of the stomach. Eating relieves stomach related symptoms. Peptic ulcer—Kalium bichrome
It is useful in peptic ulcer when the patient has flatulence both upper and lower and there is burning sensation in the esophagus. Incomplete burning rash only rises to the pharynx and remains there for a long time—Lycopodium 200.
: In cases of duodenal ulcer, when mucus, bile and bloody food are vomited—Phosphorus.
: This medicine is useful in problems of excess acidity or acidity – Robinia
Note:
: Peptic and duodenal ulcer. Bloating or gas accumulation after eating.
Below are some suggestions for lifestyle changes to avoid esophageal and stomach ulcers and acidity:
1. Keep your head 6 inches above the bed while sleeping.
2. Avoid foods and drinks containing caffeine or alcohol.
3. Avoid citrus juices, tomatoes and overly spicy foods.
4. Eat small meals and eat at intervals of about 6 times a day.
5. Don't eat right before bed.
