Many people in the world, especially urban residents, know what constitutes a stomach ulcer (JAW) or duodenal ulcer. Scientists are still arguing about the causes of the disease.

For today it is precisely established that the causative agent of these diseases is Helicobacter pylori - a microbe, similar to a spiral. It is he that affects the intestinal mucosa or stomach, forming ulceration. At the same time, it is known that an ulcer can not manifest itself without additional factors. The disease develops only in people who eat poorly, are addicted to alcohol, are in a state of constant anxiety, stress or depression. The microbe affects those who, for some reason, increase the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
