1. Stomach ulcer also known as gastric ulcer is the ulcer that occurs in the stomach while
2. Duodenal ulcer is the ulcer that occurs at the first part of the small intestine.
There are two major causes of ulcer:

1. Helicobacter pylori (a bacterium)
2. Chronic use of NSAIDs like aspirin, diclofenac, ibuprofen etc.

This two accounts for over 90% of all ulcers with H. pylori having a higher percentage when compared to the long term use of NSAIDs.
Other causes of ulcer exist but the account for lesser percentage of ulcer, they include:
-Stomach hyperacidity (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)
here the stomach produces abnormal amounts of gastric acid. It is a rare condition.
-Weak gastric lining
Here some people are born with weak gastric mucosa as such, even small stomach acidity can result in ulceration.
Starvation is not a common cause of ulcer, in fact, it rarely causes ulcer as you will have to be with totally no food of anything kind for 4days or more and other factors plays a role in this, which include H. pylori and
... stomach hyperacidity due to the fact that whether or not you eat , at certain periods of the day, gastric acids are released in the stomach and when the pile up over a long period of time they can cause ulcer. This is not a common cause of stomach ulcer.
The duodenal ulcer are mainly caused by H. pylori while the stomach ulcer are mainly caused by chronic use of NSAIDs like Diclofenac,ibuprofen, aspirin etc.
Remedies

Peptic ulcers are easy to treat. Treating it involves the use of strict diet (and avoiding things that will worsen the said condition and allow the ulcer to heal) and medications.

The treatment regimen depends on the exact cause of the said condition.
⁃if it is as a result of infection with H. pylori then the treatment regimen will involve the use of antibiotics.
-If it is as a result of chronic NSAID use then you might have to stop the medication if it’s possible or your healthcare provider will also prescribe drugs that will protect your stomach lining from the ulcerative effects of the drugs.

@Suman68082748 @thetwinkwolff @x_karran_x @Sunil9130 Lets stop the criticism guys. The lad is good. Losses happen. Losses to unranked players happen too. As do wins vs top 10ers. Let's accept both. Remember Sumit and the likes of him are the best we have. See the bigger picture please.

@thetwinkwolff @x_karran_x @Sunil9130 When the Europeans or South Americans were getting quality practice and tourneys week in week out at reasonable costs, our kids were playing on dung courts or learning outdated serve and volley on grass. Appreciate the fact that the last 10 years have been a hell lot better than

@thetwinkwolff @x_karran_x @Sunil9130 the 10 before that. Real change can't come in a day or even in 10 years. So let's grit our teeth and bide our time till we have an organic self sustaining system in place.

@thetwinkwolff @x_karran_x @Sunil9130 @siyer30 @SportaSmile @Cric_Writer @RomilShukla @amanthejourno Tennis is my favourite sport in the universe. Has always been. Will always be. I was in love with Steffi and Pete a lot before I fell for Sachin. And while I would love every toddler in my family to play sports professionally, I won't encourage them to pursue my favourite sport.

@thetwinkwolff @x_karran_x @Sunil9130 @siyer30 @SportaSmile @Cric_Writer @RomilShukla @amanthejourno It will be career suicide. In other sports, I can actually plan for my ward to be the next Lin Dan or the next Tiger Woods or the next Schumacher even from a base in India. With tennis, in 2020 I can't do that realistically. Just doesn't adds up. Even for total freaks of nature.
Patriotism is an interesting concept in that it’s excepted to mean something positive to all of us and certainly seen as a morally marketable trait that can fit into any definition you want for it.+


Tolstoy, found it both stupid and immoral. It is stupid because every patriot holds his own country to be the best, which obviously negates all other countries.+

It is immoral because it enjoins us to promote our country’s interests at the expense of all other countries, employing any means, including war. It is thus at odds with the most basic rule of morality, which tells us not to do to others what we would not want them to do to us+

My sincere belief is that patriotism of a personal nature, which does not impede on personal and physical liberties of any other, is not only welcome but perhaps somewhat needed.

But isn’t adherence to a more humane code of life much better than nationalistic patriotism?+

Göring said, “people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”+
