Duodenal Ulcer

A duodenal ulcer is a disruption in the inner lining of the duodenum. Duodenum is the starting part of the intestine, from where the stomach ends. Also, it is that portion of the digestive part where the bile and digestive enzymes from the pancreas mix up with the food. When the membrane lining the duodenum gets damaged from various assaults within the digestive tract, painful ulcers are formed. There will be sharp pain in the stomach along with indigestion, nausea, and bloody stools.
