Question 1 of 5
What symptom is more common to a duodenal ulcer than a gastric ulcer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Postprandial pain (occurring after a meal). Duodenal ulcers typically cause pain that occurs 2-3 hours after a meal when the stomach is empty due to increased gastric acid secretion. This is because the duodenum is the first part of the small intestine where food goes after leaving the stomach. Gastric ulcers, on the other hand, often cause pain that worsens when the stomach is full (immediately after a meal).
Therefore, postprandial pain is more common in duodenal ulcers compared to gastric ulcers. Nighttime pain (choice
A) is common in both types of ulcers. Anorexia (choice
B) and nausea and vomiting (choice
D) can occur in both types of ulcers but are not more common in duodenal ulcers specifically.
