peptic ulcer disease

yes both improves with pregnancy ,but how and why ?

  #4

hi asmi,
i read it somewhere that peptic ulcers are helped by pregnancy bec of prostaglandin synthesis in pregnancy by the gravid uterus.

  #5

in kaplan,it says that pregnancy decreases gastric acid secretion and gastric motility,and increases mucous secretion,leading to protective effect on GIT.

yes
it is decresed the production of gastric acid during pregnancy.
There is an increase of reflux, burning pain!
