When I was in 3rd year college and my schedule was very hectic because that was the start of our hospital duty and so I began to skipped meals especially breakfast to b e always on time and ended up eating at school with cold coffee and bread and that was my daily routine then. Then one day I have a terrible stomach ache and vomited for like 4 times and almost got dehydrated but thank God my aunt gave me a medicine and so they insisted to have me checked up to know was is my illness. The doctor performed the IAPEPA or the Inspection, Auscultation, Percussion and Palpation and after the assessment my doctor said that I have acute gastroenteritis (this is an inflammation of the stomach and the intestines). The symptoms of this are diarrhea, crampy abdominal pain and vomiting which was all evident to my experience. After my doctor assessed me, she gave me a medicine to prevent the progress of the disease. But when I was in my last year of college, it got worst and again I went to another doctor and scared as he gave me the result, he told me that I have peptic ulcer.
So peptic ulcer are sores that develop in the mucosal wall of the stomach, pylorus, duodenum or esophagus.
