Because gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer are the most common, so the so-called peptic ulcer refers to gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. It is called peptic ulcer because it was previously thought that gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer were formed by the digestion of gastric acid and pepsin on the mucosa itself. In fact, gastric acid and pepsin are only one of the main causes of ulcer formation, and there are other causes that can form peptic ulcer. Because the etiology and clinical symptoms of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer have many similarities, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, so it is often diagnosed as peptic ulcer, or gastric and duodenal ulcer. If the ulcer can be identified in the stomach or duodenum, it can be directly diagnosed as gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer.
