Peptic Ulcer Disease
The esophagus (food pipe) and stomach are essential parts of the digestive system, helping transport, digest, and process food. Disorders affecting these organs can cause symptoms such as heartburn, acidity, upper abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or gastrointestinal bleeding. While many conditions are easily treatable, persistent symptoms should never be ignored, as they may indicate a more serious underlying disease. Dr. Dipankar Das provides comprehensive evaluation and evidence-based treatment for a wide range of esophageal and stomach disorders using advanced diagnostic endoscopy, modern imaging techniques, and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.
What is Peptic Ulcer Disease?
Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop in the lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). Most ulcers occur due to Helicobacter pylori infection or long-term use of pain-relieving medications (NSAIDs). With appropriate treatment, most ulcers heal completely.
