Abstract

The present study was conducted from 12 Sep.2019 to 10 Nov. 2019 at the Gastroenterology ward, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar Pakistan, aiming to accurately investigate the Peptic Ulcer Disease state, signs and symptoms, to ensure complete information about drug therapy and patients response. Peptic ulcer disease is defined as an upper gastric mucosal rupture due to acid hat results in the formation of ulcers that extend beyond the muscular mucosa to the submucosa. Peptic ulcer is characterized by abdominal pain, change in appetite, unexplained weight loss, nausea, vomiting, heart burn and dark, tarry stools. Spicy and acidic foods, Stress and restless lifestyle were considered to be the leading causes of peptic ulcer. However the Helicobacter pyloribacterium is responsible for up to 60% stomach ulcers. Frequent use of painkillers, old age, obesity Smoking, excessive alcohol use, too little sleep, type O blood and chronic stress, are the risk factors of peptic ulcers. Acute peptic ulcers results from taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs. Chronic peptic ulcer represents a profound loss of substance. Data from a total of10 patients (6 female and 4 male)of all age, having various peptic ulcer diseases were involved in this study. It was concluded that most of the female patients (60%) were having peptic ulcers as compared to male patient (40%). It was found that 30-40 years old peptic ulcer patient percentage was 20%.Moreover it was observed that frequent use of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs has been found to be the main causes of peptic ulcers
