Question

Most common site of chronic gastric ulcer

• A. Pyloric antrum
• B. Upper part of lesser curvature
• C. Lower part of lesser curvature
• D. Segment of large intestine

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Chronic gastric ulcers are often found in specific locations within the stomach due to varying factors such as acidity, mucosal resistance, and blood supply. Understanding these locations is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

The most common site of a chronic gastric ulcer is the Pyloric antrum. This specific area is susceptible due to:

• The concentration of gastric acid, which is higher near the antrum.
• Reduced mucosal defense, making it more prone to damage.

Other options, such as the upper part of the lesser curvature, lower part of the lesser curvature, or the segment of large intestine, are less commonly associated with chronic gastric ulcers. The focus on the pyloric antrum is essential for effective medical management and intervention.
