Esophageal Ulcers
There are many types of ulcers to be found. An esophageal ulcer is a hole that has formed in the lining of the esophagus. In esophageal ulcers this lining has become corroded by the acidic juices in the stomach. The ulcers can also be formed by a bacterium called H. pyloridus.
You can generally find esophageal ulcers in the lower section of the esophagus. These ulcers are also associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. While these esophageal ulcers can be painful they are not considered to be contagious.
