Abstract

Background: The gastric and duodenal ulcers are chronic disease that their incidence increases with developed modern and machinery life. Clinical Manifestation of peptic ulcer (PU) are epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting but in endoscopy some patients are normal which is named non ulcer dyspepsia (NPU).Methods: This prospective study performed on 300 patients that admitted due to dyspepsia and underwent endoscopy.Finding: In study sample 120 PU and 180 NPU were diagnosed. In PU group there were 76(63.3%) male while it was 84(46.6%) in other group (P=0.004). Smoking was more in PU (44(36.6%) ver. 20(11.1%), P<0.001). The most prevalent symptom in both groups was epigastric pain.Conclusion: While PU is more prevalent in women, NUD is the case in men. Smoking was more in PU rather than NUD. On the other hand all symptoms of these two disease are similar and definite diagnosis of each is possible only through endoscopy.
