WHAT IS PEPTIC ULCER

Peptic Ulcer Disease are open sores that develop on the inside lining of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine. Digestive tract is coated with a mucous layer that normally protects against acid. But if the amount of acid is increased or the amount of mucus is decreased, then ulcer could be developed. Ulcer is an open painful wound. It is developed when people used to intake painkillers frequently, or complaining about heart burning and feeling discomfort in their stomach area.

  • Esophageal Ulcer is developed in the mucus layer of esophagus.

  • Untreated ulcer further leads to hole in the tract that is called the perforation.
  • A perforated ulcer lets food and digestive juices leak out of the digestive tract and that leaked material enter in the abdominal cavity, putting the risk of serious infection of abdominal cavity (peritonitis). This is called Perforated Peptic Ulcer. It could be Perforated Gastric Ulcer or Perforated Duodenal Ulcer. This is a serious health problem that needs urgent medical attention.

I was having nasty stomach pains for months and I tried every single doc in my city Peshawar but none helped to relieve my pain. One of my friend told me to try this homeopathic clinic in rwp.I checked out their website and gave them a call. The doc took the time to understand my symptoms even though it was just over the phone and figure out exactly what was going on. Didn't rush me at all like other docs.Doc prescribed some homeo medicines for me and had them delivered right to my door. They were super easy to take. The medicine tbey gave me was so gentle. I was worried it wouldn't work but sure enough, within a couple weeks the pain was way better. A few more weeks and it was completely gone! I'm totally healed up now thanks to this doc. I'd highly recommend consulting with them virtually if you're looking for natural healing. Five stars for saving me from this stomach issue!

If you are looking for a homeopathic clinic that can help improve your child's autism condition, we highly recommend 'Arshad Homeopathic Clinic' to which we took our 4-year-old son Musa. After taking treatment from this clinic, Alhamdulillah we saw significant improvement in his ability to socialize. Musa started interacting with kids around him, which was previously challenging for him. We are pleased with the results and think the clinic's approach towards treatment is excellent. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they take a holistic approach to the treatment, which includes natural remedies. We trust this clinic, and we would highly recommend it to others who are seeking a non-invasive treatment option for autism.
