What is the difference between duodenal ulcer and stomach ulcer?
I was diagnosed recently with duodenal ulcer. I heard the term stomach ulcer but not duodenal. What causes duodenal and what cause stomach ulcer? And how do they treat duodenal ulcer? A. The location. Stomach ulcers are located in the stomach. Duodenal ulcers are located in the duodenum, which is the first part of the intestine (that have 3 parts) right after the stomach. The cause is ususal the same and so is the treatment- antibiotics. I got both. First time it was stomach ulcer and then duodenal.
