Gastric ulcer is a type of stomach disorder caused by the erosion of the gastric mucosa, which is the protective layer covering the inner surface of the stomach. Stress has been reported to play a major role in the development and worsening of ulcer symptoms. Stress-induced disturbances of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis can lead to the release of hormones and neuropeptides that can increase gastric acid production and mucosal vulnerability, thus promoting the formation of gastric ulcers. Additionally, stress can lead to behavioral changes, such as smoking and drinking alcohol, which can increase the risk of peptic ulcer formation. The use of anti-inflammatory drugs, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), has been reported to be effective in the treatment of gastric ulcers. NSAIDs can reduce inflammation and reduce the production of prostaglandins, which are compounds that can increase the production of gastric acid and contribute to the formation of ulcers. Additionally, NSAIDs can reduce the pain associated with ulcers and improve the healing process. In conclusion, stress has been linked to the development and worsening of ulcer symptoms, and NSAIDs have been found to be an effective treatment for gastric ulcers. Therefore, it is important to manage stress levels in order to reduce the risk of developing or worsening ulcer symptoms. Additionally, NSAIDs can be used to reduce inflammation, reduce pain, and promote the healing of ulcers.
