The main cause of gastroduodenal ulcer disease is considered to be a disturbed balance between aggressive factors and protective mechanisms of the mucous membrane. Aggressive factors include hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes of the stomach and bile acids. The production of mucus in the stomach, good blood circulation in the gastric mucosa and sufficient regeneration of the upper cell layers of the gastric and duodenal mucosa are regarded as protective factors.
