A perforated ulcer is a condition where an ulcer has ruptured through the wall of the stomach or duodenum. This can result in serious complications, including sepsis and peritonitis. There are several synonyms for perforated ulcer, including ulcer perforation, ulceration with perforation, and gastrointestinal perforation. Other related terms include peptic ulcer disease, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer, which are conditions that can lead to perforation if left untreated. Common symptoms of a perforated ulcer include severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Treatment typically involves surgery to repair the perforation and antibiotics to prevent infection. If you suspect you may have a perforated ulcer, seek immediate medical attention.
