Significance of Ulceration
Ulceration, according to Ayurveda, involves the stomach lining. Science defines it as a measure of gastrointestinal damage. Health sciences describe ulceration as the formation of open sores on skin, mucous membranes, or within organs. Causes include mucositis, poor circulation, medications like NSAIDs and Chloroquine phosphate, and conditions like varicose veins or colitis. Ulceration can indicate foreign bodies, melanoma, or bacterial contamination, and may lead to complications, infection, or economic losses in livestock.
