Stomach Ulcers: Ignoring Symptoms Can Prove Costly; Know 5 Key Warning Signs

New Delhi: February 12, 2026

Poor eating habits and stressful lifestyles are rapidly increasing stomach-related disorders today. One serious issue is peptic ulcer. People often dismiss early symptoms as simple gas or acidity, which can turn life-threatening if ignored.

What is a Peptic Ulcer?

When the stomach’s protective inner lining weakens, digestive acids damage this layer, creating sores called ulcers. Main causes include Helicobacter pylori bacteria, excessive spicy food, alcohol, smoking, and overuse of painkillers.

5 Common Ulcer Symptoms

• Stomach Burning and Pain: Persistent burning or sharp pain in the upper stomach marks the primary symptom. Pain worsens on an empty stomach or at night.

• Frequent Acidity and Indigestion: Constant gas, sour burps, or bloating sensation may signal ulcers.​

• Nausea and Vomiting: Stomach inflammation commonly causes nausea. Severe cases may show blood in vomit.

• Loss of Appetite and Weight: Post-meal discomfort kills hunger, leading to rapid weight loss.

• Black Stools: Very dark or bloody stool indicates serious internal bleeding. Seek immediate medical help.
