People who are stressed or take certain medications uncontrollably are named by a doctor as being at higher risk of developing stomach ulcers.
In an interview with gastroenterologist Nuria Dianova, those factors present in the lifestyle of many people that can contribute to the development of stomach ulcers were listed. This disease is closely related to inflammation that occurs in the mucous membrane of this organ, its ulceration – this is primarily facilitated by infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Also, the tendency to the disease is increased by disorders leading to the entry of bile contents into the stomach, due to which it can become inflamed.
In general, Nuria Dianova noted, gastric ulcer is a multifactorial disease. One of its possible triggers is stress, people who are prone to worry and anxiety are at risk of getting sick.

“Stress can cause vasospasm and microcirculation disorders. If a person is constantly nervous, over time, with all the combination of factors, this can lead to deep damage to the gastric mucosa,” the doctor told Moscow 24.
The doctor also pointed out the impact of unhealthy eating. Fans of fried foods and foods with a crust are more prone to developing ulcers. According to Dianova, such food contains components that the body cannot adequately absorb. It may also contain carcinogenic substances.
