Factors that can increase risk for Peptic ulcers:
1.    Use of painkillers called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, naproxen, ibuprofen, and many others available by prescription; can frequently cause ulcers.
2.    Excess acid production from gastrinomas, tumors of the acid producing cells of the stomach that increases acid output (seen in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)
3.    Excessive drinking of alcohol
4.    Smoking or chewing tobacco
5.    Serious illness
6.    Radiation treatment to the area
