The pattern of pain is different from that of duodenal ulcers as it frequently occurs immediately after eating.Gastric ulcers cause more anorexia and are associated with NSAID use.Gastric ulcers also tend to be chronic rather than alternating between periods of remission and exacerbation.There appears to be no gender preference.
