Undiagnosed perforated ulcers can have fatal consequences
Stomach ulcers and small intestine ulcers, also known as peptic ulcers, occur when a small hole develops in the lining in the gastrointestinal tract.
Stomach ulcers are fairly common. Approximately 20 million Americans will develop at least one stomach ulcer during his or her lifetime. On an annual basis, stomach ulcers affect about 4 million Americans. Ulcers are also a serious health risk. Each year, about 6,000 Americans die of stomach ulcer-related complications.
