Peptic ulcers are ulcers or sores in the esophagus, stomach or the upper part of the small intestines. The main symptom of peptic ulcers is abdominal pain which is worse when your stomach is empty. Most ulcers are caused by infection with Helicobacter pylori, and not because of stress or spicy food.
