Pyloric ulcer

The pathophysiology is similar to DU, and gastric acid is generally increased. Pyloric ulcers often lack the periodic and rhythmic pain of typical ulcers, epigastric pain is more common after a meal, poor antiacid response, prone to vomiting or pyloric obstruction, and more complications such as perforation or bleeding.
