What Are the Causes of Stomach Ulcers?
There are quite a few things which can cause them. Some people are just more likely to get them then others. One large cause is stress. Stress can cause more stomach acid to form, which eats away at the gastrointestinal tract. Other causes depend on the person. Some people it can be caused from as small of things as alcohol consumption, taking Aspirin, tobacco smoke, overuse of laxatives, spices on food, and other things which cause a reaction in your stomach acid production. In some cases they are caused by cancer/tumors in the gastrointestinal tract which means that if your doctor has found that you are in fact getting ulcers, they will most likely regularly take biopsies to make sure you’re okay. They will most likely do this with an endoscope.
