Stress Ulcer
Stress ulcers are ulcers that result from excessive stress and are found in the stomach and upper portion of the small intestine (duodenum). These ulcers can result in bleeding, pain, and nausea, and may require either lifestyle changes or medications to treat. Long-term stress can increase risk of developing stress ulcers, which can have serious impacts on an individual’s physical and mental health. Stress ulcers should be treated swiftly to avoid potential long-term complications. Stress ulcer prevention focuses on reducing stress and eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Professional counseling or therapy may also be beneficial.
