An Ulcer is a discontinuity or break in a bodily membrane that impedes the organ of which that membrane is a part from continuing its normal functions. Ulcers occur because of uncontrolled increased acid production in the stomach and changes in the immune system (the body system that fights infection).Most peptic ulcers are caused by a particular bacterial infection in the stomach and upper intestine, by certain medications, excess consumption of deeply fried spices, abnormal delay in taking food, poor lifestyle habits (including overindulging in rich and fatty foods, alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco) or by smoking. Bacteria weaken the protective coating of the stomach and upper small intestine. Acid in the stomach then gets through to the sensitive tissues lining the digestive system underneath. Acid and bacteria directly irritate this lining resulting in sores, or ulcers. In certain circumstances stress can help cause ulcers. Ulcers can also be caused or worsened by drugs.
