About this condition
Peptic ulcers are open sores in the stomach or duodenum lining, often caused by H. pylori infection or long-term use of painkillers like aspirin and ibuprofen. When an ulcer bleeds, the blood becomes black and tarry after passing through the digestive system. This is a serious condition requiring immediate medical attention and treatment with acid-suppressing medications.
